I like the fire system. That's on my list to put in as things get put back together.

the chute handle looks good in the console too.. I am ditching that completely at this point, but had I kept it in the car that would have been a good way to do it.

Intake looks KILLER too, that thing's gonna make some big power, once you get the tuneup right it's really gonna move.

That's probably gonna require a notching I'd guess to fit. Worth it though, that setup is a bad boy. If the windshield/cowl is gonna get the dog box treatment anyway, it's not a huge deal to make that work and have plenty of room.
