Default UCA drop pics

I am in the middle of doing the UCA (Shelby) drop along with a laundry list of other things. I thought I would take a few pics of the difference in the way the wheels sit.

The one on the drivers side has been done, the other is still stock. Obviously the suspension is unloaded which should replicate the vehicle in a turn. I can see a major difference in the two sides.






Here is a pic of my motor and tranny waiting to go in. Note the custom tranny cooler lines, I thought they turned out pretty good.
