Round 2
Not a lot of Engine Bay pics, these are all I have during the build. Smooth firewall, Hidden wipers, dual master cylinder/ clutch pedal set up. Fender wells were extended around the a-arms and all holes filled. Fenders were modified in the hood jamb area to remove some of the ugly. Hidden fasteners and privacy panels fabricated to hid hoses and wiring etc. Hood latch area removed in favor of hood pins. Radiator support was hand fabricated and panels were made to hide the radiator/intercooler/condenser setup. Also, handmade a fan shroud with dual fans, and an airbox for fresh air inlet.
Subframe is stock, sort of... cut the engine cradle back 2" to mount the DSE rack and pinion unit. Custom steering arms mount to stock spindles, Wilwood 6 piston brakes, Speed Tech Arms and Viking dual adj. shocks. Cut the sides of the frame to allow for the 9" wide front wheels proper clearance. Both frame horns from the Spring pocket forward are 2x4" steel in order to mount the front sway bar. Very Unconventional but Very functional! Built a frame jig in order to check measurements and ensure proper alignment specs, turning radius and suspension articulation. I went overboard on this as the geometry wasn't ever "right" on the first build. I never liked the turn radius and the bump steer was annoying. All these modifications Made such a big difference on this car, it really handles/steers/corners Awesome! Hard to explain, it just works!
Oh! forgot the best part. 408 LS, Forged internals, Edelbrock Blower, T-56 with Viper internals Hand built headers, Custom exhaust completely Ceramic coated.3" mandrel, x pipe. 12 bolt rear Custom 4 link, rear sway bar and Qa1 coil overs. Estimated 7-800 rwhp
