I'd probably have to relocate the coolant tank to the driver side and the battery somewhere else that would be a decent spot. Just kicking ideas around while the wait is on!

Thinking of Weight distribution putting the battery on the passenger side would be ideal. With the battery out of the way a heat shield should protect the coolant reservoir and intake. Not sure how much your brake lines would like red hot steel next to them...

I've got a baby battery anyways so might mount it where the AC condenser is... Oops more stuff taken out? Still kicking the no AC idea

I suppose it depends on how sweaty you are willing get on the way to and from track. Just bring some anti monkey butt powder and you should be good to go!

I expect to see this (link below)ASAP!

God it would be nice if we could get production versions of that intake manifold and those headers

I don't think it'd be all that bad.

Certainly a platform first to my knowledge in the 10yrs I've been with it.

Less cost(s) for piping, but any savings there, would be offset by custom hood work.

Each their own. I'd think it be neat to at least see. Once. Hahaha.

Found one close to fender exit. Side exit has been my thing recently, did it to the old caddy last week after dropping in the new engine...

Yeah, that's Greg Eckard's off road inspired build. Not my cup of tea, but props to him on doing what he likes.

[mention]Jordan_R [/mention] if racecar is what you are after, why not do a 2 into 1 exhaust from the turbos and just dump out under the car ASAP?
This would allow for an O2 sensor and exhaust gas temp for tuning...

Carbon monoxide poisoning in cabin, but really the reason I wouldn't do it is because it makes the ride painful in the cabin. Extremely noisy and bassy. I have previously driven the car to the drag strip and back with open downpipes. Not very pleasant lol. Best if the exhaust extends out the car or at least to the rear axle with a turn down facing the ground

Looking like we might not have much room to do so but would need to see with motor in the car again. It's very tight. That's what she said..

Nah, I meant open under the center of the car lol. That should be plenty good

Yea it was open hugger type headers for a little while. Its not nearly as bad now, still open headers. Just with collectors, 45degree pipe and a straight pipe till it came out each side.

Ruby (Cleetus) has one.....and she flat out rails.

Ruby makes more power than any of our modern SHOs ever will... and yes that is a challenge to anybody willing to try lol

 

[Jordan_R]

Trans cooler is in. Trucool 40k trans cooler. Buddy with an LSA supercharged 5.3 with a 4l60 recommended this. If his trans has lasted this long with it it has to be good.

 

[SM105K]

I just ordered a massive one to replace my stock PP trans cooler. I will report back later after I install it this weekend.

So I told my wife, who has helped me out a lot doing a bunch of small projects on my SHO, that you had commented on my homemade jack stands. I just showed her your latest YouTube video on your rebuild and when she saw the front end of your SHO, she stormed off yelling that if I ever do that, I am on my own lol. Just thought I would share that.
