That's awesome that you get to keep the awd. What kind of system is it? 4wd or some type of viscous coupler as a center diff?
I'm looking for a set of shorties that hug close to the block and exit down and back or similar to yours. Need them to be mirror of each other not the weird chassis specific ones.
Considering the Army was considering buying the A-10 it's pretty obvious how much they still want it for CAS.

These headers should work good for that, they seem to be well made, I just hope they hold up to the wrap with all the extra heat and don't crack.
I've worked with a few people that were in on the F16 trials to see if it could do the A10 mission, and it failed. There are so many things that the A10 can do where these new high speed, high tech, very expensive aircraft can NOT. You have a choice 50 rounds of 30mm at maybe $20 a round or one $60,000 missile at each target. Fly low and slow for a longer time with a positive ID on targets or very fast, depending on computers to ID and fire at targets, like the resent B1 friendly fire incident. Common Sense will not be used till the T.O. is written.

Cool project. What air intake is that? Where is the MAF? got any other pictures which show it?
Scott from Renegade hybrids is a cool /good guy. He was my chief driving instructor at PCA in the southwest region. Is that from whom you bought your swap kit?

Very interesting build you have going. I may have missed it but what alternator bracket and alternator are you using?
I retired from the USAF in 2010 (22yr MSgt, 3D1X1, RF Transmission Systems). During the Gulf War we were at the A10 FOL at King Khalid Military City, Saudi Arabia. A10's are bad ***!

The alternator bracket came with the kit from Renegade Hybrids, Half moon bracket and 3 bolts and a 1/2 spacer I think. Alternator is just the standard LS1 from a 90's Camaro.

I had to replace the oil pan, had a hairline crack and was leaking. I bought a E-Bay Corvette pan but there seems to be a difference in the oil by-pass, anybody know if this will be a problem, the picture shows the blue tape marking the difference. almost looks like there should be a plug in that hole. The red one is the old one. Thanks

Also started to mock up the air intake, this is a 3" pipe and not sure if it will be big enough.
