Thanx Guys!
Made a lil more progress today.
To start off the I couldn't figure out where I could legally mount my Y block for the feed line that way I wouldn't get hassled by tech at the track. The only place that I could come up with was the firewall but since I wasn't sure if I could mount it there I decided I would mount it inside the passenger wheel well.
Had to use the BFH mod but it got the job done.
Ran the lines from the Y to back of the rails and mounted the regulator.
Got the trans already to go, should have it in and the return line done tomorrow.

I decided that Im going to get a custom hotside instead of cutting up the car.
Both option A & B are made by Stainless Works.
Neither of the cars in the pics are a Fox but I would route my hotside very similar.
I have 2 choices in which I can run the hot sides.
Option A:
The only down side would be I would have to relocate the alternator and I would have to run a fender exit down pipe.
or
Option B:
The problem with option B is that I may have to convert to manual brakes, another reason why I'm going a with a different setup since the PTK kits hit the master cylinder.
Compared to:
(PTK kit)
The hole I would have to cut:
I'd rather spend the $ and get it done right that fits the car without having to cut the strut tower and convert it to a manual brake system.
Any opinions / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx for the input guys.
As is sits right now Im going to go with Option A for the hotsides.
Finished the fuel system today, had to go buy a -6an 90 fitting for the return line and route the return line.
Made my crossover:
Got bored waiting for my brother to come back from Mc Dondalds so I pulled the valve covers and painted them.

Thanx!
Well I have finally hit a stopping point.
The only things I got done today was remove the front sway bar brackets to make room for the turbo manifolds and installed the radiator.
(Mocked up the coldside to make sure it would clear the radiator)
Turbo placement has been decided, but the hotside routing is still up in the air. Gotta get everything ironed out before I go back to washington.

Thanx, its amazing how much room I have under the hood. The hotside is going to eat up a lil bit but I'll still have enough for anything else I may need.
Tig- Just a heads up, Rod bolts and Head studs(going FI) are a cheap insurance in keeping the bottom end together and the heads from lifting.

The shifter is the Hurst Quarter Stick with the Pistol grip.

As far as the turbos go, I got a pretty good deal on them so I picked them up with some room to grow.
Similar builds have made between 600-700 at the tires but I got a pretty good deal on a forged rotating assembly so the 5.3 is coming out and a forged 408 is going in.
