Congratulations on the baby, John! What stores do you run...I'd like to patronize a Lat-g'er if at all possible.

Nice, Mountain Mikes has always been my favorite....the pepperonis curl up into little crispy bowls that taste like thick bacon, so delicious.

Went and spent many more hours today trying to get my manifold on. Nobody was biting on the sale and it was looking too pretty sitting in my garage on the shelf so I decided to try to make it fit!

I had to grind a ton of metal off of the TB and I took a piece off of the AC compressor. Then I cut the manifold plenum with a dremel to get the angle up so the coupling would clear. Only took me about 982649832696 tries. I may end up doing a remote mount coil bracket to clean things up. I had to mount my coil brackets upside down so the plugs would clear the manifold plenum but now it blocks the oil filler cap.





Got a peak at my bulkhead also.

As Tone said...looks good John. Keep up the hard work. It'll pay off and look excellent in the end.

Looks good John. Congrats on opening your third store and nice to see you're back at the car. If you decide to relocate the coils, I have some pics in my build thread of where I put mine on the subframe. They fit really nice there.

See, I told you if you rolled up your sleeves and tucked in your skirt you could get it done. Just wait till you get the turbos plumbed up!

Oh, and depending on the headers you are using, theres a lot of room down there to mount coils. We are doing the same thing on a 70.
