Please excuse the Hijack... But seeing your setup here, has given me a slight glimmer of hope.
Sorry for the late response, its been a busy month. So the K member is custom along with mounts and headers. I hear a lot of guys are using jeep commander manifolds. I built my own long tube headers using 3/8 flanges I designed and cut on our laser at work and then I bought a 2" mandrel piece kit from ebay and started cutting and welding. The k member is an original slanty k member that was in the car, I cut it apart and mounted a manual rack for steering to give me more room for headers. The alternator is in the factory spot for a car timing cover. It has an a/c p/s delete pulley on there at the moment but I plan to install air at some point. The motor had an unexpected spontaneous disassembly do to a faulty valve spring so things are getting all changed around now. Long tubes are gone, I built some turbo logs, going back to manual brakes with a dakota master, the motor is a different block, same rotating assemble plus one drop in piston rod combo, eagle heads, custom push rods, car intake with an 80mm single turbo. Hopefully the car is back on line here in the next month or so. I am shooting for some drag n drive events this next year. I will attach photos from my phone.
YA it is tight for sure. I wish I had the room to come out and down, if I had taken more time I am sure it might have turned out a little better but I am trying to et the motor back in the car so I can get it over to storage before the snow flies, so I can free up some shop space for paying jobs.
Thank you! I bought a billet 6" solid stock slab on amazon and machined it, along with the fuel pump hanger mount out of flat billet. Took some doing but it was far cheaper than buying one, plus its drilled for a joint passage to accommodate two pumps. I used dalron for the wire pass through insulators. I built a 30 gal aluminum fuel cell to go in the trunk. I need fuel compacity to do the drag n drive events coming up this next year.
Yes it is, its a tight fit for sure.
Actually its going to wrap back around and shoot down through the space above the k frame next to the starter and connect to a y pipe and into the original pipes an mufflersI see a fender exit down pipe in the near future.
Boooo
