Getting to the part I have dreaded for a while....... Now that all the physical parameters are known.......Time to pull the engine out and install the wiring harnesses and see what other issues are going to pop up.......
This is where patience is going to enter the picture.....Look at the size of the main harness ........ Hope there is room left in that 1 lb. bag to get this 10 lbs in there...
I never realized how close the grill was to the radiator support until I saw these pictures. Wow.
Yep......It "IS" a major problem and took the wind out of my sails for a while....I'm going on it again but I can't configure everything the way its supposed to be......I'll have more updates coming soon....all I needed was another inch..... But...It is what it is....
It's been a while as I have had some issues with getting pictures off my phone and into the web hosting sites ..... Finally got it figured out (I think)....LOL....Anyhow, I had some issues getting a Heat Exchanger to work in the space I had available....I ended up buying two different ones that I thought I could get to fit.....Ended up trimming the inner grill lips and no matter what I did I could either get the Intercooler to fit or the A/C condenser...but not both....So...I kept looking and looking at what was available..... I found a motorcycle engine oil cooler that looked like it would fit.... It was small enough to work with the taper of the grill.......Humm!!!..... so I bought another one and mocked them up on either side of the hood latch assy and installed the A/C condenser and everything just barely fit......I had to modify the heck out of them but they fit.....they are on the small side and don't know yet if the cooling will be sufficient but my only other option was putting one of the larger one under the car with fans blowing thru it......Gonna try this and see how it works....
As you can see there isn't much room left for anything ........Just enough for things to fit....here's a pic of the drivers side showing the power steering reservoir and the coolant tank for the supercharger coolant system...
The Air Intake tube just clears the Radiator.........Everything just fits....
The ECM just fits also..... Still have to clean up the old wiring..
