Most of the mods were with the headlight buckets, there not completely done yet in the pics also. Only had to trim the blower mounts slightly . The trick is going to be leaving room for the motor to rock alittle.(alot)

damn, that is quite the tight fit for making it work. Those look like HASport mounts, I know they allow a little more motor rock than place mounts,but they should stand firm enough that you wouldnt hit. But still, I dunno, its close. Nice work.

Yep Rick is doing it, even vortech is asking him for step byb step instructions now. They have called him for the pics he took step by step. He says he going to put it up on the web for everyone

And yes I did the valve cover, its actually my old one and i jus recoated it for him.
