Just ran the lines for the trans cooler, think I might redo it cause it's making me uncomfortable because it's so close to where the exhaust will be. Probably going to order the turbo manis Friday and take a look how close it is before I redo it.
If you change those lines to hard line, they tuck pretty neat right along that sub-frame. No trouble with heat then, as long as they have 1/2 or so of clearance to the headers.
I've got a buddy that really really wants to use his new hardline bending and flaring stuff so maybe I can trick him into making all new hardline for me hehe. That's a good idea. Also, I'll just end up re-heating the fluid on the return if it's too close. Maybe I'll just remount it in the rear instead.
likely going to be ebay stainless forward headers and I've got a local guy fabbing the hot and coldside for me for a very very very good price. I'd toss his name up here but I don't know if he wants me to so I'll ask later and see whats up.
I was just curious because I had not seen you post anything about it yet.
Yeah, I haven't gotten to that yet. I might be handing over the rest of the build to a local if my bonus is what I hope Also, I had back surgery a few years ago and it doesn't like bending over a lot or laying on my back under the car. Getting old sucks.
Sorry if you've posted it somewhere, but what k-member are you using?
AJE stuff, a arms too with strange 10 way shocks and viking/upr coilover from UPR.
Probably driver side and mount it to the frame there. I'll let the fab guy figure it out haha. I'm thinking exhaust coming out the bumper on the passenger side so I dont have to get a face full of exhaust with the window down
o god, whole bunch of crap has happened between the last update and now.
Bought a new f150 lariat... 3 weeks into owning it a 15 yr old kid in a stolen car hit it in my driveway...
Anyways, I've done a little bit more to the car. Got scammed out of some heads from one of the facebook groups so I bought a set locally that had a valve job on them and were hot tanked and cleaned up with btr 660's. Put a btr stage 2 turbo cam in.
Going to start wiring up the holley and putting the flaming river in this weekend.
Bought a glenns sleeper fuel tank, strange manual brakes, -10 pushlok fuel line, Weld RTS's. Most of the parts show up next week.
ripped the interior out to get to the a/c box. pulled it so i could run holley harness through the ac holes in the firewall.
heres the dash sitting on the floor lol
i reused the rubber piece from the bottom of the ac box to be my grommet. uwed abs sheet on the inside to cover up the holes.
christmas!
headers and radiator mocked into place. going to have to move the vband closer to the collector.
spent all day today cleaning the garage and moving tools and other stuff around. by far harder than working on the car, i had been putting it off for far too long.
well, i found a local dude to set up the entire suspension for me and set angles on trans and rear pinion. once that is done a driveshaft will be ordered and hes doing the brake lines. hope to have another update soon.
