Mine ? got that last parts on order. Just waiting for it to warm up some. even in a heated garage is just too cold around here to do paint.

Yeah yours! And that makes sense.

Update I finished up my turbo headers for the most part except for the pipe to ****** welding a couple weeks ago. Also i got my custom flywheel from spec finally and installed the engine and tko trans. I have a radiator on the way, so all i need is some wiring, some fuel fittings, and starter to be able to do a test start up. I hope to be driving it within the next month - month and half.

Oilpan with shoulder pads.

[luigisho]

are you fabricating a new one or modifying the oem?

Looks like that car needs more brakes, you should dump those Cobra R Brembo's and send them my way.

modifying the stocker. The pan was about an inch or so off the ground at ride height.

Sam at 2400 lbs the brembo's are overkill but i think ill keep em.

Ur gonna have to modify the pick up. Shouldn't be to hard I guess The pick up is pressed right up against the oil pan

Is it? I used playdough to get a measurement and i measured a gap of .36 inches. The issue I was planning on is needing some tubing with a sharp radius bend because there isn't a straight section that I can cutout.

 

[92sho16]

Finished up the down pipes since i last posted.

 

[rbruso]

Got an exhaust leak there

That's some tight packaging. Are you using a spacer between the intake and heads?

I must admit I'm a bit jealous, as this is very close to what I've been wanting to do for a while now. Can't wait to see it done.
