Yeah, you can even download the install instructions for the holley mount kit for free and it tells you exactly where to beat the tunnel back. And Sikky or Hinson are two good places for the clutch hydraulics. I ordered my kit from Daft and I would not recommend him at all. He forgot to include the adapter plate for the clutch cylinder and told me he would ship it out to me and never did the started to ignore my texts and emails all together. So i just ended up ordering another adapter plate from somewhere else.

Alright here are some updates HUGE arp balancer bolt kit Power steering cooler and AC condensor I started trimming the rear chassis harness Mocked up how the ebrake will sit I got my brakes and valve covers back from my friend in Missouri I installed the coil packs and the billet brackets to see how they would look I had my sandblaster redo my some more parts (and dont worry there isnt any media inside the gas tank) I ordered some carbon fiber headlight buckets so I can get rid of the pop ups, still not too sure what route im going with the headligts though I had the strut tower brace powdercoated by detective coatings down in virginia, VERY happy with the quality! Finally installed the injectors and fuel rails Ordered the -4an adapters for the steam vents And Ive got fully stainles braided brake lines from the master cylinder all the way to the calipers

The steam vent adapters can be found here

And a good friend of mine actually sells the brake line kits. They are top notch for sure! He's going to set up an eBay store in the next month or two but I'll pm you his email if you want to get ahold of him.

Damn your shop is like an operating room!

My brother is building a 240 with an LQ4 that came with this oil pan on it. Did you have to modify the pickup tube or windage tray to flip it backwards? Where did you get that remote oil filter block?

Definitely use the Sikky kit for the clutch setup.

http://www.sikky.com/view_item.php?id=141&catid=13

Their instructions on the swap kit page show the areas to bash in as well.


Also- got a link on the condenser? That's niiice.

What about the Tick Performance Adjustable MC? Everyone swears by it and says its one of the best upgrades they have done. With the GB its only a few sheckles more than the Sikky unit.

You can save a good bit of money going with the silviav8 MC mount and buying the MC and lines from Summit/Speedway. Sikky charges $250 for that kit and its very overpriced. I think I did it for around half that. The wilwood 3/4 master works great with my monster stage 2.

That oil pan can only go on one direction so that the oil filter ports line up. The oil filter block come in a kit to work with that pan. Contact enjukuracing.com and they should help you out. The windage tray remains stock and the pan uses a stock GTO oil pick up tube.

Thanks for all the compliments guys! And what scooter said on the oil pan. It is a front sump pan and uses a gto pickup tube. The oil filter block is just a generic one, nothing special.

And here's a link to ac condenser, there are a couple different sizes available. http://nostalgicac.com/condensers.ht...ion&price=100-

Who makes the strut tower brace? I like how it's tied into the firewall. Thanks.

It was custom made. I had a picture of the business card of the guy who made it for me.

Expensive.... I had it done along with quite a bit of other stuff so I don't know the exact price of just the brace. I also had to have my car with the guy, I don't think he can make one and ship it. You'll have to call him up and ask.
