<U>UPDATE PICS ON PAGE 5, 7, 12, 14, 18, 23, 25, 28 STILL UPDATING IMAGE SERVER, PICS WILL BE BACK UP SOON ON PAGE 1 and 5

NEW on 28</U>

So I have decided to take it upon myself and fully document this whole process. It started out like this:



The old engine blew so I wanted to step it up and go all out. It had a slight wire tuck, but the fuse box and connectors were all still visable, I want the engine is floating effect. Here are a few pics of how it is going so far, the passenger side is almost done. I'm using MIL spec connectors for the engine bay to cabin wiring, no dangling wires, all clean and secure. Also, I'm in the progress of making a full custom engine harness using Raychem shrink and transitions, will be much cleaner. SO here are the pics with a couple of the engine build, more to be updated in a different engine build thread.















CORE SUPPORT NEXT...featuring JDM bling



Eagle lightweight crank, balanced rotating assembley



12.5:1 goodness, crankcase breather mod too (really around 12.9:1 with decking and milling now)

The whole wire tuck craze has been so nice lately.

 

good lord!
can't wait to see the final prouct

 

I have the whole interior hanress out of the car, the firewall inside is BARE. Soooo much fun...right. The outcome will be nice. I just wasn't satisfied with the everyday normal wiretuck, I like going overboard.

BTW, in case people were wondering, all the holes were filled with body panel adhedsive (dries like a rock) and the large holes were filled with metal (started doing bodywork before I ever touched a motor in my life..about 6 years ago)

 

Wow!

Excellent work

 

did you weld up those holes or did you just slap bondo on top of it?

Edit: nevermind.

 

cant wait to see it finished

 

All holes are filled with body panel adhedsive (small ones, stuff dries like a rock) and if you can see the core support pics well, there is metal in the larger holes, most of the small holes also have metal in them from behind.

 

looks good! the dart block looks nice too

 

nice... pics when it's painted

Ran out of supplies for today, hope to get some tomorrow morning before the paint shop closes so I have something to do on Easter, always rainging around here. Hope to have it all done and painted by the end of next week, that way I can get the harness back in and mounted up.
