So I pulled most of the interior out today to neaten up the wiring, thinking about knocking the sound deadening crap out while I'm in there to save a bit of weight, but at the same time I really can't be fucked.





I managed to get the bonnet put back on last night to check clearance of the intake. Fits, got about 15-20mm clearance.



Need to get the mounts finished up by my mate, just waiting on the sump to arrive so we can check clearances on that as well.

Little update. Not much has happened, waiting on parts and haven't had much time lately.

My oil pan kit arrived from Summit but wasn't packed very well and was mostly destroyed by the time it got here. Summit are looking after me though and replacing it.

Also got a radiator which looked like it would fit well from internet measurements.

2004 BA Falcon radiator, alloy tank eBay knockoff. Pretty damn close, just a few tiny adjustments and it'll be in.

Yep, the final mounts are being welded up at the moment. I'll have more photos soon.

In Australia, 'hooning' (which is generally just being a car enthusiast of any kind) has harsher punishment than serious crimes...

What pan are you using and how is it going to fit with the motor mounted that low?

I'm going to use the LH8 (Muscle car?) pan. I'll just cut stuff until it fits, she'll be right.

Little bit of progress. The oil pan arrived and seems to fit. Need another 10mm added onto the engine mounts, or i'll just use spacers. Will need to space down the swaybar too. It clears in this photo, but the engine is laying back.



Also cut off the battery tray for more room for the turbo. Hack job, but good enough for me.

Did you buy those mounts or make them?

Thanks Craig

Mounts have been made by a friend of mine. He's making most of these parts into a kit, just using my car as a template at the moment. He will also be making the hotside pipes.

Little update...

Moved the car to a mates workshop, just a bit easier to do things here with proper tools.



Got the transmission mount finished up, started working on the hotside.

The likes of an Autokraft oil pan are much slimmer at the front end than the alloy pans. Plus have fitments for an oil filter.
