Mine is being installed today. The mechanic was surprised to find that it doesn't sit level in the engine compartment, rather lower at the t-body and higher near the fan. Is this to be expected? It's being installed in a '80 930.

this should be normal. even the oem c2t ICs is lower at the TB and higher in the rear. I think this is more advantagous for directing airflow from the wing. There should be some pics of it at the pelican site.

Is your engine back together? I just got my heads back today and have a marathon engine rebuild scheduled with Brian and a another friend to get it finished, installed and running by the end of the weekend. Then it's break in, dyno and VIR!

You're killing me... 
This is why I brought up the Engine Builder Supply thread. It's taken since Sept 1 to get my heads back today. I thought I would be much further along by now.
Any way. Hope to see you there.

I should elaborate. The rebuild is being done by Charlie Murphy at Intersport Performance in McLean, Virginia. The heads were done by a shop in Maryland (I don't know the name - I think Burtonsville Performance).
I pick a good time to rebuild the engine. Originally I thought I'd burnt an exhaust valve. Once the heads were off we discovered smilies on the pistons from a missed shift, thus bent valves. Then we discovered a cracked head (disaster waiting to happen), 3 cylinders at least 2/1000ths out of round and completely shot injectors.
She ought to run a tad better ....

I just got a G2X so should have lots of data next race season.

Oh, back to the thread. Here's my B6 I/C [mostly] installed.
