So some interesting turn of events. It's not ready (yet), but it's getting very close.
We have fuel being delivered, running the fuel pump to a switched power. Just no spark. It might be an issue of where the ignition coil is grounded, going to tackle some more stuff this weekend and tackle some things with the wiring.
I found an eBay header (different from the style I have) from my buddies Corolla that fits. It needed to be cut, so I will need to:
1) Get a flange to space it out a half inch to clear the steering linkage, and even still it's VERY close.

2) Have a custom downpipe an at exhaust shop make to go from 2-1. There was no way this would work with the factory exhaust manifold, otherwise a shop would have to make a 2-1 downpipe where each lead goes AROUND the linkage and puts it in the middle which is a task easier said than done
Also,
1) NO motor mounts because there was simply no clearance with the exhaust and hood clearance. It will be interesting to see how it is. I've had a few daily drivers with solid motor mounts so time will tell. One side actually has a rubber shim, one is bare. It might be rough but the goal is to get it running and driving and to work out the smaller details later
