couple engine pics, I'll post the big pics once she's cleaned up a little, the crud on the strut towers is undercoating that was sprayed on the car by the previous owner.

crappy pic of front mount, there was two big pieces of aluminum that were welded to the top for mounting, the core dimensions are 19"x6.5" x 3". And it's bar and plate. The way it's mounted it doesn't interfere too much with the radiator, and the oil cooler is completely unaffected.

my coil setup. I'm running 4 blaster ss coils, by using an ignitor out of a turbo volkswagen. This setup still runs a "wasted spark setup" but every spark (3 per combustion) is a 100% spark, which makes the motor more effecient, increasing performance (stock coil setup gives preference to 1 rotor, this setup fires all 100% strength), and also increasing reliability, since these coils are about as tough as they come.



If anyone is interesed in running this setup pm me, I know exactley how to do it on a wolf, but it can be accomplished with any other aftermarket ecu.

Hey looks good. Did you polish the manifolds or just paint them? Pixs are a little too small to tell. I still don't like that fpr spot

Smartest move you made in this whole deal was keeping the stock fan. You will never regret it.



Looks good MD. Cannot wait to see it in person. I take it you found the wires you needed?



Wahoo!! The FC's will roll again!!!
