Weekend progress pics!

[69clark]

Well a few weeks back I showed you guys the new intake I got. I started putting it on this weekend. I had to start by doing some porting to the lower to match the AFR 185s. Then I paint the lower cast aluminum and polished the fuel rails. I mocked up the layout of the rest of the bay in the second pic. Let me know what you think, I always want to take more pics, but its hard when your hands are dirty and you start getting into the project.

Oh yeah, and this is my buddy Kris that I always tell you guys about. I just promoted him to my Head Mechanic this weekend. lol

That is tight. Hope i catch you at Carlisle, so I can sneek a better look at your detail work its simply B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!

Looks bad freakin ass! The top of that intake looks like prime real estate for some Tom Clark creativity if you ask me. I spent the last 2 days workin on my own project, although it won't make more power like yours will. I won't have pics till later this week though, I'm not done with it yet.

Dan - I still have a few tricks up my sleeve, lol. Something subtle, but we'll see.

 

[OrangeMustangGt]

wow.....that intake is amazing.....

can i ask how much it set you back? i dont want one, but it looks very expensive!

 

[BlackVert]

yeah very sweet!

Well on Cartechs website they sell for about $1400 but I found in new on ebay and stole it for $400.

 

[Blackened302]

That entire engine compartment is a work of art! WOW something for me to aspire to.

 

[WhiteStallionGT]

That. engine. bay. is. nuts!

 

[xr8d302]

Yep, there was no doubt in my mind that you're scheming on some detail idea's for that upper...

stealing that for 400 bucks is insane....

 

[69clark]

lol

 

[Killercanary]

That is VERY nice and VERY clean, I can't wait to see it at Carlisle.

 

[ProKiller]

is that white cable your throttle cable? how did that turn out since you modified it?

 

[87_GT]

that is soo bad ass. ooo and tell your buddy to stay off of your paint next time

Not only is it the cleanest engine bay I've ever seen, it's the most beautiful also. Even while you're working on it I don't see an ounce of dirt or dust anywhere. I just noticed that you still have the battery up front too which goes to show you don't need to move it to the trunk to have an awesome looking engine bay.

I wanna do that when I swap my new engine in, any suggestions?

 

[69clark]

Prokiller - I haven't modified the cable or TB, just asking some questions. (Thats if you are referring to an older thread I started)

 

[Ozz]

Very cool! I had my worries about a box intake, they usually look very...uh, "ungood".

Is it the pics or does the intake's finish match the valve covers like I was saying a couple weeks ago? If so, NICE!

 

[69clark]

It matches, but its not done yet, the upper is just mocked up right now.
