I do love these updates, seeing how much work goes into projects like this really makes you appreciate them so much more.

I'm surprised how short the wheelie bars look though

Stunning work as usual Fil. I also want a go in this beast when done.

That steering joint is mighty close to the headers. You must have some very solid engine mounts/chassis to stop it all moving and locking your steering. I had this problem a few years ago with a V8 in a Capri mk 1.

Good luck with the rest of the build mate.

I can only echo the comments about quality. Very impressed at how far back the engine sits in the bay. I expected the weight distribution to suffer but that's a cracking installation. Love the engine supports and motor plates. Top draw :)

Driving a fast Jap import is like coming out of the closet, you might surprise some people, but in the end you are still gay.

Industrial size rad for industrial sized power. :D

It's all so shiny and lovely and looks so gorgeous seems a shame to bolt it all in. That rad would look great on my wall :thumbs:
Buggers cancelled my op just a couple of days before it was due. Inconsiderate barstewards!! :rant:

What are they? Twin 16's? :D
I shouldn't be surprised; everything about the build is specced so far beyond the normal high performance stuff, it makes it difficult to retain perspective.

What's next Buddy?

Twin 12's should keep it cool, hoping to fit the transmission cooler and prop loop today, ratchet shifter should be here early next week which will be the next little project.
Need to do a couple of bits on the Dodge and clean the GMC over the weekend too but still chipping away
