But i am sure you will make that intake look Top notch!
Keep it up!

Yeah a Gen. III intake will not fit on a Gen. II engine. They are totally two different beasts. Stay tuned for the powdercoated intake and valve covers.

What size are they?

The brakes are as follows:

Brembo 13" racing calipers - front/rear

Mov'It 13" cross drilled rotors - front/rear

When these racing brakes were installed back in 1996, Hennessey installed Mov'It rotors. The stamping on the rotors indicates Viper RT/10 and not GTS. I suspect that Mov'It did not have a GTS brake package developed at that time. So they modified the RT/10 brakes to fit the GTS.

If you look at the picture of the installed rear rotor you will notice an aluminum spacer plate in the center of the rotor. This spacer plate was not part of the rotor. This plate is also stamed with a Mov'It logo.

These brakes are absolutely awesome and stop on a dime!

These pics are of the transmission cover plate. Black plate is OEM. I had a new aluminum plate fabricated to add some bling.
