Love that front engine support.

What are you doing about the frame holes? Cover between the rails and hope the shadow hides it? Or find someone to bend some sheet metal and cover them?

1"x12"x38"
Side is 7"x24"x.25"
Think I'll double the side plate to 0.50"
Side plates will get cut and the 1" plate will slide through welded all around... 2"*2" square tube up front will be on top welded to 1" and side plates.
Might be able to sneak so. 2" tube under Neath at the back.. track bar is in the way of putting both under Neath
Then bolted to the frame

Well shit. looks like I need a 1.5" thick spacer... And going to have to relocate my relocated oil fill tube when it comes time to put AC on.. everything needs replaced probably look as swapping to an axial piston pump much like what's common now

Got all the major electrical stuff ran hooked up,
Various connectors replaced,
Upped battery cables from 2/0 to 3/0
Battery jumpers are 2/0
Lift pump is plumbed, need to wire relay in and fuse..
Pump is a Fuelab 41402, with Tork Tek adjustable does 60psi with Engine off.. see how it does when running,
Engine does 40psi oil while cranking, FSS does hold with key one forgot to check if it pulls while cranking

Need to install PS tank, exhaust, rear electrical, fab hot side CAC pipe, run coolant hoses, weld GN plate, bleed brakes install Driveshaft, make gauge cluster, speed/tach are Isspro R14000 series, Isspro fuel guage sending units..
Got a 12g sheet of 8*13" that I'm going to have guages mounted in.. easily get 9 in there with turns/high beam and couple warning lights..
JEGS Performance Products 11063: 5/16 LED Indicator Green | JEGS
got the PW/PM/HM curcits off the FL60 harness to lay on to the fl70 harness (swap out harness.. to hacked up and I'm not familiar enough with it), wire up the elctro-hydro boost.. hood, AFC live installed

thanks guys,
just got back from buying coolant and oil, 9(stock is 8) gallons of coolant and 6 gallons of oil.. $145.00, bought extra gallon of coolant, have serval gallons of oil at home still..

definitely nice feeling hearing it fire on the key, still got a lot of little stuff to finish up.

These guys showed up.. originally I want a 160mph Speedo which would put 70mph at the 11:30 position and Isspro has yet to make a 160mph version, be like a 4 week lead time...so settle for a 120mph..
someone upgraded the speedo to a sealed face for me. no biggie called Isspro, settled for them sending a remote botton for the speedo.. quick easiest fix IMO

Idea was to have speed and tach avg position around the 12:00 o'clock position.. I can live with them at 1:00 o'clock area..
R14000 series

So when the cop asks "do you know how fast you were going?" You're not lieing when you say.. "I don't know sir." Lol
