351 swap headers with LS flanges that my buddy made for his 5.3 swapped mustang.

well fabd up some coil pack relocation brackets. gotta paint them, run the wiring and wrap the plug wires and coils with some summit racing heat tape. yes i know theyre a little close to the headers but i think itll work, if not then ill move them. also got another freebie the other day, buddy gave me a set of sn95 front calipers.

fab'd up a bracket for my pcm to mount under the dash.

went to the junk yard today cause it was 50% off and picked up some GT sway bars and a newer cobra bumper.

the packs arent tightened down in the pics.








cobra bumper i found. then i rough cut it, gotta get my air saw and do the finer cut.

well got a bunch of stuff the other day. pretty much all my fuel stuff, and trans dipstick. waiting for my battery relocation stuff still. was supposed to be here this past week.

anyways weather cleared up enough for me to get some work done.

hooked up my fuel rails and threw the rest of the fuel line to the back of the car (floor is all wet so didnt do anythign else with the fuel). installed my dipstick which needed some grinding to fit, and mounted my passenger side coil packs but i need to do the wiring for them. oh also found out that my boss will let me build my power steering hoses at work so i mocked up some fittings.

oh found out that 2003 3500 silverado 8.1l plug wires were perfect for what i needed. they come out off the spark plug at pretty much a 90 degree angle and are a little longer then f-body and the truck wires.

dont mind the wiring im not done yet.

sorry for the crappy pics my cameras flash decided to stop working.

Probably another paycheck until I can fire it hopefully. Need to finish up the fuel line stuff, hook up the Trans lines, disable vats, run battery cables and put fluids in it.
