^^^   I built my version of that over the weekend -came out pretty sweet -mine is going to mount on the firewall by the passengers feet -New rotors and pads all around, brakes and slave are bled. Ran outta welding gas Sat morning and there was no where open to get more so I did a bunch of small things to help me get a head start on the wiring. Tonight I'll be finishing the trans mount -I made mine so the exhaust goes UNDER it -I'll put up some pics tonight.

I'm trying to make an event in two weeks...  this week will be detrimental -I NEED to have it running next weekend so I can shake it down a bit and hit the dyno...  major projects left -wiring, exhaust and cooling -I pretty much have everything planned out -just a race against time and I'm not rushing anything -I'm expecting some sleep deprivation this week -I might even take a day or two off work.

So I fabbed up this little guy today -originally I was going to do a straight bar across kinda like Hinson, Grannies ect...  just seemed that the exhaust would be such a PITA that I would rather spend the time on the mount and run a practically straight exhaust.  I used some 1/4" thick flat stock and angle with some hefty rectangle bar I had laying around. The mount bolts though the trans tunnel and I made "sandwich plates" out of 10 gauge mild steel on the interior. I still need to weld in the plates -but everything is set.

Super progress the past few days...

Trans is in place -moved on to the rad and intake tonight:

This hole support is a bolt in affair now -six bolts and the rad and support come out together.



Started eyeballing the intake:

Build is looking great, but I just don't see the radiator being very effective in it's current position. It doesn't even look like ducting will help. Maybe I'm missing something, have others had success mounting the rad in that position?

I have seen this rad set-up done plenty of times on other cars usually turbo cars in a "V mount" I'm just going to use ducting for the top -not an intercoooler -honestly I'm kinda regretting doing this set up at the moment because it is going to take another few days to button it up and I'm prob going to miss next weekends event.

[ProjectD]

That's what had me confused,  It looks like an incomplete v-mount with nothing to force air down through the radiator. And the intake/filter is sitting right where your duct would be.

Yeah it is no where near done -I did paint everything and get it ready for install...  shrouding/ducts in the near future.

Finish it up already!

(you will have in car video won't you?)

Gopro HD is on my wishlist.

Just picked up my driveshaft

I am a little worried about cooling issues, but time will tell.

^^^  Cooling will be fine...  I have a few tricks up my sleeve.

DS fits like a glove! 

did a test fit of the dash  - I need to get a different shifter lever:

[digitalsolo]

LOL, semi-truck shifters for the win man!   

You crazy drifters and your weird ass radiators...

Out of curiosity, why did you do it that way?   A "normal" setup would fit just fine...

seemed like a good idea at the time... -wanted the intake to go over it.  If I have cooling issues I have no problem hacking up the front bumper.
