I've done radiator hoses out of 1" to 1.5" stainless tubing before. Any shape you want.

That thing might just be "Fenix fast". Lol, looks great sir. I have had an itch to do a Z build for awhile now, maybe someday I'll get to it. I have this Formula to deal with first though.

Oh yeah! this thing should be up and running for street car takeover at the end of this month. That's is of course if nothing pops up on the shakedown.. I still have a new clutch to break in so I won't be going crazy even if she is ready to go.

In true fashion for this project everything down to the radiator hoses are custom made.

I'm anxious to see what power level you settle on for daily driving.

I often wonder the same thing. The most HP I've had to deal with is 600 wheel in a 3500lb car. I think the easy awnser is whatever the highest HP setting I can get away with safely (mechanically speaking) I have an insatiable appetite for speed so we'll see how it goes.

If I had to throw a number out there without driving it yet, I'd say 800..

Basically done with the motor at this point. She should be ready to fire up mid September. I'm hoping the next update in this thread will be a start up video.
