Love the build man, I've been following since you started it. I noticed you mentioned a knock off tial bov. I'd hate for all your hard earned money to be wrecked by a cheap part. Check this out http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=412663

Drug her out from the back of the shop and gave her a bath.
Custom fabbed poly motor mounts done.
Custom fabbed chromemoly tranny crossmember done.
Fuel cell done, just needs to be mounted:
Roxy approves.
O lawd. What dun happened here?
3/16" 6061 aluminum for the fuel cell.
Jon tigging the fuel cell up.
Done. It'll hold 25ish gallons. Perfect for e85. Road trips to Dallas and Houston here we come...
Cleaned up engine bay a little bit, was real dusty.

Are you going to be tapping the rear steam ports on the cylinder heads?
Also, I thought you were going to run the UMI solid mounts? Is there any risk of the heat wearing out the polyurethane prematurely?
Never the less very nice car/build/work. Looks extremely clean.
I love seeing thread like this that show the progress of a build. To many people think you just wake up
one morning and POOF your cars ready to go.

In for how the intake works out.
very high quality work, Keep it up! Its all the little custom things that make certain builds stand out, its nice to see on here because 90% of the people that will see the car, probably wont notice or see all the little details.

Poly mounts will be fine, they are not like the stock ones. The UMI CNC'd solid mounts I had for some reason aligned the motor really awkward, we came to the conclusion that they just did not work with a BMR K-member.
Appreciate the compliments
Stage 2 will be an 8pt, coilovers in the rear, manual steering rack, and kirkeys. I just want to get it on the road and enjoy it for a while before I do that. Been too long without a racecar, lol.
Thanks man!
Thanks!
