Engine bay all assembled!
Whoa! What's this? All the engine bay parts are in! Also looks like months of work and years of planning. A couple of things to note:
The air intake tubes are replaced with 3" high-temp brake duct. Someone, somewhere, said the stock tubes are good to 350hp. The engine should be near that. This is a bit noisier than the stock "venturi tubes." The trick to installing them is to remove the outer cord wrapping and the inner wire from the last inch or two of the tube on each end. Then the stretchy tube will slide over the duct and airbox tubes.
The stock cross-brace is replaced by a nice, shiny, stiff unit from 928 Motorsports. This was a special order with no engraving.
In the middle there's the adpator to take the outlet from the oil filler cap, about 1", down to a 3/8" barb for the hose to the catch can. It's not a real project without some parts from the hardware store's plumbing aisle.
The car's down on the ground. Looks like the ride height and alignment will need some adjustment before it'll be really roadworthy. Way too much camber for sure.
After that, it's on the road!
