So I pulled most of the interior out today to neaten up the wiring, thinking about knocking the sound deadening crap out while I'm in there to save a bit of weight, but at the same time I really can't be fucked.
I managed to get the bonnet put back on last night to check clearance of the intake. Fits, got about 15-20mm clearance.
Need to get the mounts finished up by my mate, just waiting on the sump to arrive so we can check clearances on that as well.

Little update. Not much has happened, waiting on parts and haven't had much time lately.
My oil pan kit arrived from Summit but wasn't packed very well and was mostly destroyed by the time it got here. Summit are looking after me though and replacing it.
Also got a radiator which looked like it would fit well from internet measurements.
2004 BA Falcon radiator, alloy tank eBay knockoff. Pretty damn close, just a few tiny adjustments and it'll be in.

Car enthusiasts get a rough time over here.
Very cool build.

Little bit of progress. The oil pan arrived and seems to fit. Need another 10mm added onto the engine mounts, or i'll just use spacers. Will need to space down the swaybar too. It clears in this photo, but the engine is laying back.
Also cut off the battery tray for more room for the turbo. Hack job, but good enough for me.

Little update...
Moved the car to a mates workshop, just a bit easier to do things here with proper tools.
Got the transmission mount finished up, started working on the hotside.
