Thats odd that you had fitment issues with the trans mount.I just installed the same one back in december and it went on good.only took about 2 hours.i am m6 though which could have something to do with it.did you ever link the problem with anything specific or did you just mod the crossmember and forget about it?

nice build BTW

Prothane only shows one trans mount. So, I decided to make it simple and modify the cross member to a standard set up. That way, replacement will be simple if needed.

Redesigned my cold air intake. This is my 4th design and worked out some building and fitment issues.

Installed the Full Throttle Speed Hotwire fuel pump kit today and cut the trap door for easier fuel pump service. The hotwire kit fit and looks as if it were factory.

Removed the fuel tank


Drilled .188" holes on the inside of the 4 corners of the tape and then used a Unibit to make a hole big so I could start cutting with my tin snipes to the inside edges of the tape.






Put door edge molding on the cut edges




I will fabricate a lid tomorrow

Bolted the Hotwire to the back of the alternator with the battery cable and was not satisfied with the fit. Here is what I did to make the wires fit better.

Used a M8 coupling nut.

Nice work. What tires do you intend to run on your narrowed front wheels? I’m considering having a pair of my ten-spokes narrowed and using a 195/60/R16 tire. My MT Sportsman and Convo-Pro wheels are very light but I can't stand the look.

How much of a pain was the ABS delete kit? I have an SLP line lock and was thinking about getting the SJM delete kit that works with it.

Not hard, just be patient and think things out.

Get a small tubing bender, it makes for easier forming in the small area if your engine is in the car.


Use this type of flaring tool if possible, perfect flare everytime.
