Engine plenum, fuel pump install | 2.2.2021 - 2.3.2021

Started the steps to finishing the engine plenum. Fit the plenum to the engine with a file until everything sat where I wanted it. I then duct-taped the engine to protect it where I would be doing layups.

Engine taped up.

 The plenums were then sanded and fit on the engine.

I then did layups on the top and sides of the plenums to act as a flange for securing them together and to better fit the plenum to the complex sides of the engine. All of this will be trimmed.

The next day, I removed the plenum halves from the engine and set them aside to cure. I also installed the fuel pump and fuel filter to the firewall and routed the hose up to the mechanical fuel pump.

That's it!
