Engine back in for mockup of hot and cold pipes




Moved the motor plate mounts to the top side of the frame rails, I can drop the engine in complete, before I had to install the headers in the car.


Shawn gave me some 1/4" 6061 aluminum plate to make adapter plates for the -12 water pump bungs.

Intercooler back in the car, just need to finish welding the v-band on the intercooler pipes


Even though the intake is tall, it doesn't protrude much over the stock hood height.

yeah, I wish i could change the turbo inlet but it is what it is. The new design would only make it easier to pipe, no performance gain.

Dumb question but what is the top wheel on the motor being driven by the cam for? Obviously spins at cam speed but with the tiny belt I can't figure out what it is.

Maybe a lil late but Meziere makes those plates.
