damn thats gorgeous good work on the engine bay!! I'm hoping to get my 93 rewired next month, once thats finished ill finish the interior and plumb my fueld system. I'll be running pretty much your setup minus headers, I have brackets for Procharger just no head unit, or may go turbo. I really wanna clean up my engine bay but im affraid the extra time will just make me frustrated and give up.

First of all thanks for the props. I have dedicated to making this thing look good and I have taken the time to do it right and also do it once. I have done every bit of it myself from the sand blasting the engine bay to all body work including spraying the paint. I then planned on where i was putting everything and made it look as if its not cobbled up. Dont want it to look like it was thrown together. and made sure on mounting stuff to make sure thats where i wanted before mounting so i didnt have any uh oh's lol. I work alot of overtime so i hope to have it road worthy by summer is my goal.

Nice build! I'm doing something similar. Replacing my frame rails now so my end goal is to have a bay looking like yours! How did you get the tremendous trans to bolt up to the LS motor? Was it any cheaper than just going with a t56?

Thanks man. Ive taken my time to make it look good. Its a Griffin LS swap radiator. The upper mounts not on but i made one like the upr large one. I made one because the core is thicker.

Thanks man. I already had the tremec. So since i had it and i found the quick time bell it was cheaper. If i went t56 id had to buy trans, all hyd setup,clutch and new driveshaft. So long run i wanted the tremec. Plus im curious to see how the 3.27 1st gear does.

This is an awesome build. I sometimes wish the strut towers didn't rot out so bad my my notch when I had it. I'd like to think I'd be doing something like this. I still look for a good fox body from time to time lol. Great job man. Keep up the great work!

hahaha I got my own money pit I'm working on lol! Maybe after the race car is done, I'll find a nice notch for a cruiser. It's either that or my 84 C10. Haven't decided yet. It's never ending...

late model restoration. uses factory master and comes with the plate and pushrod.
I just finished the brakes last night and it has a great high pedal and seems to work great.
