Heres the pan we needed to lower.
Some header pics. You would think with all that room, it would be easy, but noooo. The collector ended up pretty close to the #1 cyl by the time it came out of the turbo.

Try a 9.5 block and stock towers. Kidding aside it looks great.65-66 still way worse though.
69 w/P/S, swaybar, and TCP rack and with a 351w and AFR 205 (yes raised exh ports to boot) to top it all off.
The hardest yet so far.
If you are really thinking about doing it Brian, it can be done with towers, and the rad on the correct side of the core support. It'll take some trickery, but I'll tell you how when/if you get around to it.

I am going to order one on Friday 1-30. It should be here next week. I think I will try the 75mm 1.32. The fan will have to be a pusher and the turbo and alternator will both be on the drivers side. I still think the hard part in the end will be the headers and they are already done.

Lookin good. Bet its fun to mess with plugs when that thing it hot though.
Yeah, but the only thing you can do when you have a rack and pinion. they take up ALL the room under the car. But it has a v-band on each DP to disconnect them and remove to get to the plugs.

Ya, its probably the #1 thing I love about being N/A now is the room or access to things. Pulling that big arse blower off everytime you wanna do work with the distributor got old. LOL I do miss the power adder dealio though. You guys and all these turbo stangs sure make it hard not to throw some pistons and a diff cam and go that route.

Yeah, weld her up. Try to make it nice. the K-member is a wee bit wavy, and so is the frame.
Got the torque arm mounting tube, and made the mounting point for it.
The tubing mounted to the frame rails, and into the floors. Looked at angling down to keep it out of the floors. But was just too low, and would have killed even more ground clearance for the exhaust.
Front shot of torque arm right before making the mount for the arm
Got the rack lowered and mounted.
