very cool, from your pics it looks almost impossible to route the down pipe from the turbo, looks like a very tight fit. keep me updated on your progress.

:biggrin:Hey guys I have new pics of the bustang!! The motor is in and almost complete. :biggrin: Only thing needed to do is put the up pipe in and the spark plug wires made. And build a down pipe. But I was thinking about firing it up before I build the down pipe. Due to ordering a piece of it.:wink:

I will have some more here shortly.. Sorry it is taking so long..

Well here are some pics......

ENJOY

I almost forgot the passenger side of the motor

Last but not least the side view of the car as it sits now.

I will get some more pics shortly.. Things are coming along very good. Not as fast as I planned it to go. But hey you gotta think I started this project about 2 and a half or 3 months ago and I have actually got it together very quickly!

I am up for and comments or suggestions or question you may have

Give E-Mail address and I will send more, don't want to high jack the thread. But I got mine to fit under the stock hood but I can't go any bigger on throttle body though I have a 1/2" hood clearance.

I am really thinking of doing the same project but its the wiring where I would be all mixed up about. Any hints????

 

[BuickCamaro]

I have used all the pigtails off lights and all from the car but I ended up going with a trunk mounted painless 12 circuit wiring kit and the F.A.S.T system so my wiring will be pretty simple really.

i order a stand alone harness for mine plug and play
