very nice job. I am obviously a fan of the red car. The red adds torque under the curve. None the less, I am very impressed with the build. I JUST may try to do the wire tuck. I have no idea how to solder, it can't be too hard. I have 2 downpipes that are bullying my wiring in the bay. Can't wait to see this thing on the road. May be a stngkillr twin

Yeah I like the red also haha thanks for the kind words, the car should make a bunch of power. Soldering is easy it's just time consuming extending over 150 wires x 2 soder joints per wire is over 300 connections to soder and heat shrink.
Yeah my white cars nick name is Casper lol

Glad that worked for you I wanted more clearence though. Hp goal alot it'll hopefully be running in a few weeks. I still have another month to wait for my mid west chassis fab 9in and It'd probably be done sooner if I stopped playing with my red one lol deleted side moldings, hose mod, egr/air delete, put chrome zr1s on it today. After I mow the lawn tomorrow the rest of the day will be dedicated to the turbo car

looks awesome! 2 things

1. howd u put the motor back in? im just tryin to put the engine/bare member in

2. be careful with those valve covers, i bought the same ones and sent them back, they were no where near flat on the bottom and would rock like crazy on a flat surface and i could get a feeler guage between the seal and the head. i also had a gap on the passenger head in the rear. just a heads up! they may leak.

Valve covers are flat but going to keep an eye on them. I put the engine in from the bottom.

Surprisingly well actually. . If you can keep them from hopping they take some abuse. But I do keep spares around
