As I get my firewall to A pillar bars done I can start wiring for real, got the passenger side done today will get the other one soon. Those bars are going to dictate my fuse box mounting,ecm mounting and voltage regulator, Bat + junction and buss bar placement. Going to have through firewall battery 3/8" studs for pos and neg both behind the cylinder heads as hidden as possible. Been thinking I might mount an encased 200 amp fuse inline with the charge wire to. Firewall is almost done with filler and smoothing, still need to cut out master cylinder plate and weld in a new one out of 1/8" and plate in the down bars to the shock mounts a little then the engine compartment will be in paint soon after.

When Monte is talking about the floating ground copper bus bar,
does he mean something like this?

yes, his theory is any grounds to frame amplify electrical noise exponentially.

Ok, just remembered that I actually did a similar setup for the positive cable using this red covered terminal block JB4-375-RC.
http://www.texasindustrialelectric.com/_junction_blocks.asp
For my negative I ran a fat 00 cable from the engine block to the battery negative but ran other grounds to the frame.

I will get this black terminal block instead

So I was putting my sweet newly covered dash pad in the shed and saw that my driver side fender had slid from its perch on top of a bunch of other junk and hit a dolley and my lawn mower on the way down to landing face down on the concrete. Not a morale boost this guy. Its gonna need paint to fix, AAAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!

I'm at a stagnant point with mine where I feel like I'm just pecking away at the same thing over and over. Hoping to get the engine bay relatively wrapped up here soon and stab my mock up engine in there!

Definitely mock up BEFORE engine bay is painted. I have kept my engine bay scratch free so far because of that. BUT even though the clutch master has a plastic cap over the outlet fitting DOES NOT mean it wont still freaking DRIP! If anyone sees the mark that made, ill kick them in the nads....

This is the first time I've looked in this thread and I've only seen this page. I like the "tubs" in the engine bay. I'm curious about them. Do you intend to lower the car with tall tires and need that extra clearance?

They are needed with high offset wheels and 10-12 wide tires IMO. I plan to eventually run a 295 on the front some day. Just something I did since I was already taking the engine compartment down anyway.

Looks nice. The stock hood should clear just fine!
