Holy hell. Having Done a full tuck myself I am floored at the completeness of this project. And the attention to detail is great. I applaud your efforts and am envious.

Thanks man. We are just trying to do everything Once and as best as possible. Going for a show-stopper with alot of power.

wow,,,,you got alot of work done,,,,,well done sir

Thanks bud, Wish I had alot more done though... Moving to Georgia come this fall so I want to enjoy the car a bit before then...

Wow, that is looking awesome!

Thank you. I cannot wait to drive her... Changed just about EVERYTHING lol.

Am I being tarded? I still can't see where the power distribution box is going. In the cabin???

Your a madman! Big props. I need to do this over the winter to my car when the drivetrain comes out again. Not looking terribly forward to it.

Looking good!

You must have just missed it lol

Its a Marine Battery Stud.

Looking good but, man do those wires bring back memorys!

NEVER AGAIN, unless I am getting paid to do it. lol

lookin good!

lol hey atleast im not welding anymore lol!

That is looking fantastic! May I ask why you put the right side turbo back there instead of putting it symmetrical with the other? Either way this will look outstanding when finished.

thank you Actually the Manifolds were part of a Garret Tuner kit. We made the intercooler piping for them in a previous build and havent decided to change them up yet. This winter I may upgrade to a larger turbo setup maybe then i will move it forward.

I missed it too.. I did see the computers were moved to the fender and the marine terminal (excellent idea). But cant see where you moved the actual fuse box. Inside the car?

Looks good man! So does your old motor! Almost done with all the machine work and lookin nice!

Yea the Marine Terminal was my buddies idea, works great and eliminates clutter. This is how it was on the previous setup:

But now that we shaved the bay and are filling and making it all perfect we moved it under right where all the wires junction.

You guys were talking about the fuse box??? Ohhh!
It is right up under the dash. I believe I showed in on one of the previous pages lol. Here you go:

Made Brackets out of 1'' wide strips of steel. Nice and Sturdy.

I really hope that motor treats you as well as it treated me. If I knew I was going to be down this long i would have just used her..

Magazine material man..Great job..

I really really hope with the amount of time and work we are putting into her I can get something... Well see Changing up the front a bit as well... Just ordered a Massive Front mount to keep the temps down

edit: Steedman... You better be there when we have chris tune it, I want some BIG numbers

 

[Steedman07]

I wanted to go to Chris's dyno day too to help him out and see some nice cars, but it was a Saturday and that wasnt happening for me..

 

[b00stedgt]

Wow that is one of the best looking engine bays on the site

 

[Corpo]

This build inspires me. I think the engine bay may be my next winter project.

 

[one eyed willy]

Lol @ " never again"...... That's exactly how I feel......people have no idea of the time involved......I know I had ever bit of 60 hours of just wiring, not including any body work or welding.

It will all be worth it first time you need to work on the motor and all that shit is out of the way! Keep up the good work!

Alright guys had a short break cause i was in Vegas but I got back and hit the ground running... Heres a little update for you all following!

Mostly finished Polishing the Throttle Body:

Got my New Front Mount Intercooler, Alot bigger then the Mishimoto I had:

Since it is so much bigger we had to modify it so that all the intercooler piping would fit with the Cervini bumper:

Bead Roll it before tacking it on:

Notched the Radiator support to make more room:

Decided to also remake the 2 to 1 into the intercooler:

Finished up the new piece and mocked up the rest of the piping:

 

[1BADHRSE]

Drilled the Front mount for the new Blow off Valve Location:

Blow off Valve on the Passenger side, Tow Hook on the Drivers side:

My new 10.5'' Ram Dual Disc Clutch ^_^ :

Polishing one of my Down Pipes:

Next UP Fabricating a Strut Tower Brace:

CAN YOU SEE THE VISION LOL!

This is what i have to work with:

The Fabricator!!!

Well here goes nothing!!!!!!

 

[1BADHRSE]

Did a little more modifying to the bases:

Now the Intake Supports:

Modifed thermostat housing:

Got everything situated so pulled the motor back out to prime, bondo and paint.
