I haven't decided on color. I am using Dupont products.

I thought it looked cleaner than the other options. It was more challenging getting the engine exactly where I wanted it. I did trim less than 1/2" on the inside of the frame rail between the core support and front A-arms to help clear the A/C pump. This should allow me room for the lines and not effect the integrity of the frame.

Or are you going to have to do some frame trimming? I am at this point in my build and want to pull the trigger on parts but still dont know what the correct combination of parts are to make it all work. Any and all info is much appreciated. Keep up the awesome work!!!!!!  |
Adapter plates are also from CPP part#CPLS1-K. comes with the plate, poly mount and hardware. I moved the engine back around 2" from the stock location. This helped with the oil pan clearing the front cross member and filling in the gap between the firewall and the rear of the engine.

I made no modifications to the frame or brake lines except for shortening the rear lines before entering the Wilwood calipers.
