Fuse boxes relocation?
LS2 bait, that's pretty cool. I think with a cover panel it would really look nice.
Do you have any pics of your entire engine bay?
I want to clear all that underhood stuff out. Move the radiator, condensor and drier forward like the turbo cars do. Drop the battery down into the fender pocket by the horn (sealed Optima). move the fus boxes of course. Relocate the coils. Build an air cleaner box into the hood (Raptor) so you don't see it when you lift the hood. Move traction control over by ECM and cover them both. Route fuel lines to come from the rear. I even want to change out the power steering reservoir and move it to the side. Might move the ABS unit away from the engine a little as well. I want to pop the hood and see nothing but engine. I think it can be done.

i dont have any finished pics yet. it wont be done for a couple more weeks. this is the only one i have right now with it half done.
I'm with him. ^
That looks pretty damn clean/nice. No issues at all eh? What about moisture from below,that flap isnt the greatest? I've got billet covers but I'm always looking to clean it up under there. That really does look very nice!!

Nice, I especially like the gloss paint. I'll paint mine as well. With the battery gone you could replace the lid with a polished tube with a open element filter in the battery location. Then replace the radiator support with a polished unit.
i actually like the lid. always have been a fan of it. i like symmetry. here is a pic of the cover unpainted.
no issues at all. driven it in a few nasty storms already and they have been fine. there is enough place for water to drain out down there they will be fine. every washed ur car then pooped ur hood? its always wet under there.

Verdad Gallardo I like symmetry as well. Something like this is cool and different.
I also love these turbo manifolds. Just add twin filters to the ends. You just cant find them, though.

i removed the stock fuse box holders and ditched them completely. both boxes are side-by-side...looks alot cleaner. there is a piece on each box that holds the lid down and can come apart from the box. i drilled those pieces of each box the the back of the radiator support and slid the boxes back in those pieces. i can post pics later this evening to give u an idea
snuffles idea is in this same thread on the first page i think

okay, so i dont mean to revive a dead thread but i figured id throw in what i did as im in the process of relocating mine. basically i unwrapped and removed the wiring for the fuseboxes. then i had to unbolt the master cylinder to get some room. Then disconnected the connectors under the dash and pulled em through the firewall. Now i have no AC so i just dropped the glove box and ran a couple self tapping screws into those tabs that hold the fuseboxes into their bracket so that i can drop the fusebox check fuses if need be, then i ran the wires back to their original place under the dash. I will most likely have to lenghten the wires for the brake fluid level sensor and the drivers side lights. i can post pics and updates if anyone is interested in this way.
^ id be interested to see it, I sort of did the snuffles mod, but my setup currently runs a stand alone harness so there are a few things I could completely remove from my under the hood relays/fuse boxes so id be interested to see how someone else did it.
