Yes strut rod is way out there and is going to be a problem if i want to run a big tire! No 275s on the front of this car! I did my mock ups with a 255 on a 8" rim and its pretty good but does touch the frame the exact same time it hits the strut rod. We will see how she turns?

I figured you had mocked it up to check. I am running into problems on mine (not the same clip) , so I am sensitive to turning radius problems. LOL

Next up we have the LS6 that i had planned on using but never did. It was however used for most of the mock up and fitted with parts i did end up using. Valve Covers, Turn one p/s pump, flywheel, balancer etc...

Once i pulled everything back off the front end to start fitting the motor for the turbo work i realized i wanted the smooth firewall. I thank this site for that bit of rework! LOL
I ordered up the firewall plate from Mikes custom cars and started in on the installation. Once again back to the paint booth, but I'm happy with the result!

Wow that turned out great! Firewall looks awesome!

Finally got the car back home to start the fun stuff. Hopefully no more painting. Then i got going on turbo fab! Here are pics with a smaller mock up innovative turbo. I could still build almost all the exhaust to mid car with that.

Ive got some messages for more pics so here ya go! And yes those are my roller wheels. Lol

Final intercooler and radiator fitment and once again everything apart to finish some welds. Also some pics of the stainless 5" exhaust.

The fire wall looks great. What a sweet set up you have here.

Awesome looks on the turbo setup! Like the valve covers, who makes them?
