f*ck me!

nice!

How are you going to run radiator hoses? some radiator support mods would have to happen wouldnt they?

One day, when I get a chance, I will pop down and say gday and have a look, I think I still have your address somewhere.

Might pop in after the christmas cruise and dinner! haha.

i reckon a nice double bypass radiator with the inlet and outlet on the drivers side will be perfect ... but yeah, definately a recess into the front area job by the looks :)

the blower kit looks sweet!

is there any supports under the manifold at all ?

Ohhhh you are running the top hose to the driver's side. Now I can see it working :P

Geez that's a big blower

yeah running hoses to drivers side, chopping more out of the front apron to fit a radiator. only problem is i can only fit a 12 inch fan on the back of the radiator towards the drivers side top corner

making a support from the bottom of the manifold to engine mount and from the bottom bolt on the snout to the tensioner pulley plate

new manifold requires surgery to the inner guard. have to cut a recess into the the inner guard under the manifold as the new one sits on the panel :(

a days work had the blower manifold support made and not the new engine is just about ready to go in. once the dummy block comes out just gotta modify the passenger side engine mount on the crossmember and then can drop the new donk in finally.

I prefer that injector hat style as well, nice modification, are you going to paint those ones red as well? I think that would look hot with the stripe
