Injector Wire Harness
You need to use the Festiva injector harness. You need to unwrap the harness and pull the green temp plug and the TPS plug back to the 1st injector plug and then rewrap the harness and install. Note: photo is prior to modification.

Pulley Clearance Cuts
Here are the clearance cuts I made to the frame for the lower pulley and the alternator pulley. Some say this doesn't need to be done. It was too close for my comfort so I went ahead and cut the frame. I will weld in some plates to stiffen both areas.

Pulley Clearance
Much more room now.

Motor Mount Modification
I took the stock Festiva mount and cut most of it off as shown in the picture.

Motor Mount Template
I then made a template for the rest of the mount and will cut it from a 1/4" steel plate and weld it to the Festiva mount.
