Any new updates on the install us51gts?
On one of the photos, was that a solid engine mount? If so, what will absorb the engine flex?

Yes that was a solid mount. The point is to not let the engine flex. Ever see a race car with rubber mounts?

Looks exellent! This car will lay down some
serious power for sure when broken in and tuned up, as I keep forgetting that it's a full on 76 build.
Great work Carl, keep it up.

Carl -
Take the IAC sensor and flip it over. the wiring can face towards the intake rather than away. that will protect it from heat. Just a little CPE trick...

Carl,
Why not just hole saw and grinder the bitches? EDM is some expensive shit! One question for you...
Are you enjoying the install process?

I guess if you have the technollogy to hand then you might as well use it
I must admit I am loving the install. Just putting my own signature on it really.

EDM is sweet way to cut those copings. I used to know this guy who could laser cut things like that but he found a better job and now I am stuck with a hole saw and grinder. I am jealous of you Carl. Doing a great job on the install. If you need someone to weld those for you I would love a shot at it. Ed

Sorry Ed... Although I have a new job, I am still kicking myself in the ass for not cutting more shit for myself.
