After. There's 2.5" between the intercooler and radiator which should be enough for fans. Everything is also 1" forward from its final resting place I've just been too lazy to move the engine back lol
I've made some progress, I've been held up waiting for my dies to build the tube front end and cage. My bender did show up though, and god damn does JD squared make a heavy duty bender lol but I got a bunch of little things taken care of in the meantime. Centre console is mostly built, it incorporates cupholders, USB and 12V, USB plugs for both the ECU and Racepak, aswell as a 120v plug in the side for charging laptops and vibrators and whatnot. All the important things to make it through drag week alive. I'm having issues uploading pictures for some reason so when I get that figured out I'll drop a bunch. I started on my intake elbow I decided to build, mostly because I don't want to spend 500$ on a fabricated one and the low pro edelbrock ones look like elephant dicks. It's coming out not bad I just need to learn how to weld aluminum now lol I'll get you good people some pictures soon
Oh wait is that the radiator in front? that should be the I/C - you don't need a radiator that big in canada do you? use the tiny I/C as your radiator
get you a 22lb radiator cap and use that as BOV carry on
Sorry guys, I didn't realize anybody was really following this. But ask and you shall receive. Bare with me and I'll get this up to date as I have time. I got most of the centre console finished up, so have some pictures of that process.
I may or may not have sized the cupholders specifically for Tim Hortons cups. I don't have a problem, I can stop the caffeine train whenever I want.
I put a socket in a drill and made a punch for the shifter boot, worked mint

So next project was the intake elbow. Because of how tight the A/W is in front of the engine, nothing I could buy would really work, they all stick out too far forward so I tried to build one.
Got this off of amazon, I'm making a Ghetto Mill 3000. I'm sure you can see where this is going lol
I framed the factory headlight/grill brackets, I was going to build new stuff but this is a lot quicker without any fitment issues, it makes the whole assembly one piece for easy removal, and once I clean it up, add more bracing, and mount it to the tube front end I think it'll work nicely.
This is an inverter I got off amazon, and because I plan to take this car on loads of road trips I figured it would be a nice feature. So I took it apart and set it up for a remote switch so I can tuck it up under the dash out of site and turn it on and off remotely, and then I added a plug to the side of the centre console for laptop chargers, phone chargers, and of course vibrators. It's gonna have some JUICE

Haha, I think maybe most missed this comment. That's funny stuff. Yes, please give us some updates!
So to get my driveline angles correct, I ended up having to cut into the floor because it was either the engine had to move down, or the transmission up, and I like not worrying about smashing oil pans. I built a box with a removable top plate, I'm sure some of you know how much of a pain in the *** these are to fill under the car, especially when this beast of a tranny is stuffed in a small car. And this is the semi final result. Although the plan has significantly changed, so most of the centre console will be reworked to move the cupholders up front and go to a remote shifter, I hate when a shifter stick is leaned way back, and since I'm building this car for me im reworking the shifter, seating position, steering column, everything to fit my 6'2 *** with a helmet on.
