Re: project pacific wonder
Been following this thread from day one, nice clean install on that airbox. Outstanding work all around, I bet you are beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel.

Re: project pacific wonder
Great build, keep it up. Are you concerned with rocks or other road debris with the cooler mounted there?

Re: project pacific wonder
some more delays...the new torque converter is in and running good, was awaiting delivery of a pseed sensor for the tach and trying to find a good place to mount is difficult. we are going to remove the crankshaft pulley and replace it with a new harmonic balancer as found on the 6 cyl's....this will make it easier to adapt and it might smooth out the motor a little bit more.
anyways here are some exhaust pictures from Canby Muffler the s curve from the turbo to the end of the firewall is double flanged for easy removal in the future for maintinence or repair
