Just a small update from the weekend. Decided to cut the firewall out to make clearance for the Charge Motion Control Valves (CMCV) on the back of the intake. I didn't want to move the engine forward for the clearance because it would have created an issue with the steering linkage and oil pan. I figured modifying the firewall would be easier. I just wanted the firewall to remain looking "stockish" after the mod. I think I accomplished it. Still need to complete the metal finishing though.

Dressed the welds and retest fit the engine over the weekend.

Barely enough clearance. I may massage the area a little more just in case.

That is a good looking engine. Looks right at home in there.

What if you just radius the corner of the cover? It just plastic right? Might be easier.....

Sorry about the confusion. I was actually referring to the CMCV behind the engine cover. I have about .125" clearance right now. But now that you mention it, I may also radius the engine cover too.

Great project.

I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing this car when you get it running.

A few updates. Fabricated the mount for the coyote control pack power distribution block and closeout panels for the shock towers delete. Also picked up a steering wheel along the way.
