Also "shaved" the engine bay, welded in all the holes....re-routed all the wiring, tucked the fuse block under the dash....moved the battery to the trunk.....all the wiring was done 2 weeks prior to the old motor letting loose, so i know its all functioning properly!




















this is what the engine bay looked like after i did the wire tuck, before tearing it down for paint.....

that about sums up the progress to this point!

whats left:

finish fabbing the hot side
get the hot side "jet hot" coated
alter the valve covers for the breather fittings (weld on some #10 bungs)
add breather cans - one to each side
order tr6060
order clutch
put the engine bay all back together
install motor & tranny
install meth kit
finish up some additional wiring

TUNING!!!!

Very cool! That's quite a project you've got there. How do you find the time to do all of this? Wish I had the time, energy, and money to do this kind of stuff.
