I love this project!...is that intercooler going to remain in the passenger floor? I remembered you saying that you were going to be carrying a passenger in a previous post.

We made some small progress this past weekend, almost ready to pull the motor and start assembly...

Due to the nose bars we had to relocate the water pump rearward and down 1"


New water pump location


Intercooler mounts done, welded threaded 3/4" aluminum boss(s) to the tank and used DOM tubing for the struts


Downpipe progress


Downpipe progress 2


Getting a handle on welding


Downpipe front shot


Big *** fuel pressure regulator


Brace for brake box
