Trans cooler bracket is all finished.

Steven32

Another shot of the trans cooler. It's a tight fit, but everything clears.
I need to get different fitting for the trans though. The cooler has -10 and the trans has -6.

Steven32

New ceramic 90 degree boots are on the exhaust side, and the down pipe is put on.

Steven32

This is where the downpipe with the kit comes to. Thinking about cutting a notch out of the subframe connector and making the exhaust do a 90 degree and come out the side. I'd like to see if we could make the exhaust do a round to oval tip too.

nice i would leave it..thats where mine will be

Steven32

I definitely want it to exit out from under the car. Having it there is going to be so loud inside the cab and bounce sound underneath the car pretty bad.
That and I don't want all the heat shooting out right there.

Steven32

I'm thinking just have it 90 degree turn out to the side and conform to the body as much as possible.

all juiced up

I built this car was wondering how it was doing it still looks great good luck with it

Steven32

Great job! It's a nice looking car for sure.

Cars is coming along great nice spot for the trans cooler and where did you get your driveshaft from?

Steven32

Thank you! It just barely fit in there. Should work well.

I got the driveshaft custom made from Precision Shaft Technologies. They were very helpful and a very fast turnaround. Only took a couple days, and everything looked and fit perfectly. I just called and gave them the measurements that they needed, and let them know what trans and rear end I had and they took care of the rest.

Couple more parts starting to come back together..
Getting the oil catch cans put back on and getting the waste gate put on.



Had to extend the dump tube in order to clear the water pump. Going to wrap it as well.



Bracket for the ECU is in.



Fabbing up the mounts for the flip down license plate bracket to access the switch and posts.

Steven32

LED license plate lights going on.



With the plate up...



With the plate down...

Steven32

Had the dump tube modified to fit. Test fitting before wrapping it and it clears everything just right.
