Looks good and that just shows how big the mod motors are.

Looks good! That motor is sitting Waaaaaayback there. Can't wait to hear what your f/r balance turns out to be. Can't wait to see you back on track. Still looking to be out there with you sometime next year.

Good luck finishing her up.

Ran across this video of a dyno session this past spring, done at Performance Autosport in Richmond (they're a vendor on this site btw.... ) This is the car I wrecked this spring, the same drivetrain is going in the 05 chassis.

Some progress pics..

Engine went in the car today... Finally got the mounts fabricated, I like where the engine is placed in the car... Radiator surround done, oil cooler mounted, but still have to run the lines. Gotta find a spot for the remote oil filter mount.

Fuel cell in, rear package shelf done, diff cooler in (naca duct in quarter window and a 3" blower will feed the diff cooler). Watts link, Koni 3012DA shocks, 18mm FRPP rear bar. BMR lower arms and drop brackets.

Tiger Racing hood waiting to go on... the white gelcoat is a very close match to performance white paint.

[jymontoya]

Surprised to see the Fays2 watts link on a race car. Let us know how that works out for you...

 

[PLee]

Very cool build... would LOVE to do the same very soon!

I love my Fays2 Watts Link! One of the BEST performance mods for the road course. I'm a believer.

Where did you get that stripe kit from? I tried locating a kit like that and have "Boss 572" made.

You have alot of room in there, eh?

It's an ATL fuel cell, I think it's 15 gallon but can't remember. It was in my other car, along with the fuel pump and filter. The can and filler plate is several years old, bladder was replaced early 2011...

Ebay... did a search for boss stripes and they came up. Cost was about $60 I think, had them in about 3 days....

Roomy engine bay, but you start putting parts in and it fills up quick. Had to mount my remote oil filter adapter to the driver-side frame rail forward of the radiator.

Edit: Found the link for the stripe kit... They're for a 2010-2011 but they fit fine on the earlier cars, except for the piece around the rear reflector...

Ouch. Too bad Steve K didn't find this source. He mentioned that he paid some astronomical sum to get Boss stripes (from Ford) for his 12 GT AI car.

What heads do you have on the 342? I've got Z304DA heads on my 347 and am having a hell so a time finding LT headers that will fit.
