Why do your truck accessories and intake fit under the hood where others haven't? It is the cross member that makes the difference?

Nice looking build. I have my exhaust coming out the side like yours too. I just had to cut a small hole in my hood to fit the holley high ram. I made my own mounts on a team z k member. Can't wait to see more progress.

no updates, haven't touched it since its came back from school, been busy working on other peoples stuff and trying to buy a house, plus side is the house has a 3 car garage which will allow me to work on the car at home and not have to move it in and out of the body shop I work at, the 5.3 gt45 s10 im doing is taking up my 1 car garage at home now. within the next day or 2 im gonna order, cam, springs, head studs, head gaskets, push rods, fuel cell, msd 6010, that's gonna knock a decent chunk outta my wallet.

I do the same thing when something sits around to long I lose interest. I blew the head gaskets on my Fairmont Friday night and instead of waiting I already got another truck motor in it already so it doesn't sit to long around my place . It'll be nice for you to have a 3 car garage that's what I have but the only thing is you'll fill it up fast. Goodluck on your new home.

Looking good man. I had the itch a couple of weeks ago to try and sell my Camaro and do a 2 door Fairmont. Can't wait to see yours done, and hopefully get to see it in person.

Yeah that one sold. I found one in Wisconsin that would be perfect, but not sure I want to go through another build right now.

Camaro has been running well. Hopefully have it back to the track next month some time.
