Question Mark.

Do you have a picture of the dash with the Race Technologies dash in Hellfire? Do you have dimensions of that dash? What all components are you running?

I'm looking at gauge options for my car and had previously been looking at the racepak setup but like this as an alternative possibly. I'm using the Holley EFI which makes the racepak simple, but need to research more details on this prior to a commitment.

I can't wait to see this!

I'm not certain, but I believe he used this one.....

BTW - - -some quick googling found a video that V8TV did that has footage of the dash.... I clipped out a picture of it for you.

OH YES !

Removing the downbars from the front of dash (bolted) to the AM subframe (welded) proved to be a little difficult as the sawsall blades dulled quickly. The solution was the "wheel of death". The 7" diameter carbide disc on a 4"grinder is probably not OSHA approved, but it allowed for easy access to the work area and made quick work of the chrome moly tubing.

Gordon --- At least Mark had the OSHA approved flame retardant coat on!!!

With the downbars removed the AM subframe was lowered with a couple floor jacks.

And the new DSE subframe installed.

Mark pocketed the cross member near the RH engine mount to provide clearance for the AC compressor.

Next up, a mockup block, heads and blower were installed to check clearance to the DSE wiper motor.
