Throttle bodies are on. -3 fitting under the front star nut connects a short line to the top/front of the core end tank. Removing the nut will be the high point air bleed when filling the system.

Since I decided the car will be flex fuel but primarily ran on E85 (and in the tradition of doing everything twice) I ordered a new pump setup from Squash performance. Designed as a return type system, billet top and hanger with dual Walbro E85 pumps.

I LOVE the amount of creativity going into this build

Fantastic job!!!

Thanks!!! A bit more progress. I built a new core support which gives me a bigger opening for a radiator.

Now using dual fans from a 2010 F150. One 15in fan and one 14.5in fan and they flow a ton of air.

Air filters will be behind the headlights.

Also received my pistons from CP. Could have used a shelf piston but I specifically wanted a spherical dish with no valve reliefs.

wow very inspirational for sure. I love the it gets done when it gets done attitude! and just keep focusing the details love the symmetrical look with non symmetrical turbos and the air cleaner just further enhances the details..keep up the great work and we will keep following!

Thanks, I appreciate it! The air to air intercooler setup with the induction tube coming from one side was bugging the hell out of me. Just that was the inspiration for changing the induction.

Didn't get much done this weekend, where does the time go.

Modded the inner fenders to match the RS front suspension-

I decided some time ago that I didn't like the trunk floor. I previously removed the spare tire well and filled it but the entire panel was a bit floppy with no factory gas tank supporting it, plus it wasn't symmetrical.

This is a big panel and making it was a bit more challenging than I expected. I made about 5 of these things and this is the only one that didn't end up in the dumpster.

I also made hat channels on the mag brake for some extra support.

Before and after-

I love it when OCD personalities build a car! It makes me feel "normal"!!!

Well looks like I posted that too soon! Thanks guys but after final welding the panel had a bit of warpage so I drilled out 200 plug welds and tossed that one in the dumpster too

I had the holes for the welds spaced .500 apart and after looking at it I think a bit overkill.

The wheels are chromed but not in my hands yet. They went back to Evod for painting of the simulated sidewall and other details along with mounting the tires.
