Very nice work Andy. Question, have you covered in another thread what your thinking is concerning the pvc valve ? I see it's adjustable and I'm wondering if it adds horsepower which you'd see on the time slip. thanks Got some patch panels welded in and finished running the plumbing for fuel and trans cooler. Now I'm working on the wiring as I get time. I have that Wagner PCV valve that I'm going to do some testing with. I'm not using it like a conventional PCV and Wagner knows it. I've done a bit of testing with it, but not enough to say what I'm doing will work.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Which motor are you going to install since you sold the 470

Nice work. One of the perks of using a motor plate, you get to mock up your cooling system.

Nice work. One of the perks of using a motor plate, you get to mock up your cooling system. Yeah I was thinking I needed to drop the engine into the car to check the clearances then I realized that I could just bolt the motor plate in and use that. Saved me a lot of time.

Here is a shot of some of the extra bracing added to the front of the car. We also installed the torque boxes but those are a little harder to get a shot of. I like that Are you thinking of marketing them? If so I'll take a pair

Nice work. One of the perks of using a motor plate, you get to mock up your cooling system. Sometimes the simplest ideas are brilliant! I was thinking I would mock up cooling on my g3 swap while I was test fitting a bare block. Since I'm using a motor plate, AndyF has shown me the light! At the same time, I'm feeling like...."Duh, Doug".
