Manifold sitting on the motor, quite pleased as I went for preferred runner length, rather than restrict manifold for height reasons.




Steering rack now mounted

MARK, WHAT ARE CAM SPECS ?

Work in progress, nothing major to report back about or any pictures to show.

I'm after some bigger injectors, so if anyone is interested in some Billet 225 Atomisers



Never had fuel in, just tried for the size in the Inlet manifold.

Cost me $1200, yours for $950, I can ship to anywhere in the US free of charge.

A little bit of progress, albeit slow . . .

Modified Struts now arrived & to the correct length, slight error 1st time round


Ice Box fabricated & installed, Rule pump installed inside, need to cut hole in the top for locking seal/cap.


Intercooler mounted, should make for easy plumbing route to Ice box


Now struts have arrived, top strut mount bar can commence, plus Water jet Header flanges now finished, so headers & turbo locations can be finalised

Next progress will be in a couple of weeks

Mark, Looks like some very nice work & thought out well.

Small update on the Cuda . . .

Thanks to Jon Webster & his team :thumbright:

Top Bar/Strut mount completed


New Motor plate & water pipe brackets fitted, as going to have water pump mounted on rad


Picture of Rule pump mounted in Ice box


This is where the pipe for the throttle body will come through the dash, insert to be cut down trimmed.



Intercooler pipe 'Buk Head' fitting (internal & External photos)






Few pictures of Turbos mocked in position

Why the gt47s? They are a seem a little small. Pm me I have something that will help you out a lot once you hit the track.

My mate Jerry was off work today, so we took the opportunity to go up to Jon's (http://www.webster-race-engineering.co.uk/) to see how the Cuda progressing . . .

Jon's been concentrating on the cold side & intercooler pipe work. Still waiting on Throttle Body, which appears to be lost in transit, hopefully will turn up soon or a replacement in its place























Next step will be the headers . . .

Double slip merge

Nice work.

Awesome build. Its alot further along than my t.t. Challenger is getting.

Headers progressing well or should I say, Jon is progressing well, both sides nearly completed, EGT bosses to be added.

Even though they are Stainless, I will eventually get them coated to help reduce under hood temperatures.







Next step after completing headers, will be Turbo supports, then exhaust

Mark, The car looks great as does the work and components....well what I can see so far. Dang dial up I'll see all the pics in about 4hours

Had to go to Tascaster today, so took the opportunity of making an impromtu visit to Jon, plus a good opportunity to drop of new Wastegates & pick up fuel pumps, etc.

Only been a week since I was last there, but still quite a lot of progress, with both Headers now done, Thermocouple Couple nipples just turned up in readiness for fitting. Car now on all fours, with front springs now fitted to Struts

Turbos now supported, although turbos can still move/expand, BOV installed

Also tried out turbo blankets for size :thumbright:

Few pictures, no particular order

Had another opportunity to call into Jon's today (Webster Race Engineering)

As usual, really pleased with the quality & overall progress on the Cuda that Jon & his Team are doing.

Big Thumbs up also for their friendliness & willing to discuss any concerns I have, answering my queries & giving technical advice.
Also a big thanks to Ian for the umpteen cups of coffees he's made during all my visits.

Also had the opportunity to have another look round RV3, which really is a fantastic looking piece of kit, with an attitude to back it up as well :tup:

Also had a look at Wayne's Pro Mod vet, those BAE Fatheads are absolutely massive, I imagine the ports could swallow whole kids

Back to the Cuda . . .

Still waiting on the Stainless turbo collectors to finish of the exhausts, but should be arriving any day now.

While waiting for those to arrive, Jon has now installed both waste gates (There Blue, but won't be for long)


Accusump also now refitted, budget can't stretch to a dry sump at the moment, along with remote Oil filter being fitted.


Nice to see how the package looks with the front on the car





I like this view
