Got only a small amount done today...
Got the 80# injectors installed with nylon spacers spacing up the fuel rails.
Installed the intake with a new beefy felpro intake gasket...
Pretty much it for today. Picked up some material to use as a spacer for the trans mount. Will finish that off tomorrow. Need to weld the one truck manifold up and install them before I start working on the turbo kit. Im not sure where Im going to have room for an intercooler. I was thinking about running a small aluminum rad like a civic radiator. Has anyone used this small of a radiator before on one of these?
Thanks for looking guys!

I think I know the answer to this question already but Im going to ask it anyways. Im struggling to come up with a creative way to fit an intercooler and piping in this thing without swiss cheesing the car to death. Here goes, has anyone ever ran a civic half radiator in one of these cars? A half rad would be nice to fit an IC with same side end tanks.
Thoughts...be gentle.

Hoping the rest of my exhaust parts come early this week. I want to get the hot side done by weeks end. I ordered an aluminum radiator from a late 60's mustang. It will give me room to sneak IC pipes back to the turbo and TB.
