More progress...

First and foremost thanks to P.B. for everything he's helping me with...


Last night took the intake and hooked it up to the bridgeport...
#ad



Now finding the center of each intake runner...
#ad


While finding the center of each intake runner measurements where also taken so it would be easier to find the dead center for drilling out the injector bungs...
#ad


Drilling out the intake...
#ad

#ad


All done...
#ad


Now to take a final bore head to make it the exact size we need...
#ad


Injector bungs fit like a glove...
#ad


Injector bungs will be machined for the proper angle

Put the heads on the block last night and took the front bumper off...

I think this is where the dry sump tank is going to go... Not 100% sure yet
(Any feed back is appreciated)...
#ad

 

Last night we finished up the intake manifold and fuel rails...

A few of the injector bungs where a little too big... So they were taken to the lathe to cut down a little...
#ad


Once that was done, the manifold was finished up...
#ad


Now to make the fuel rails...
#ad

#ad

Digital readout to help with the drilling all this time...
#ad


Fuel rails finished... All is needed left is it weld the AN fittings on the end...
#ad


Last night bent up the dry sump bracket...
#ad


But I didn't like it and it broke... So gotta fab up another one... :icon_lol:

 

After finish the fuel rails... We started to machine the fuel rail holders for the intake...
#ad


Then we drilled the holes for the blocks...
#ad


Next we tapped the blocks for the bolts...
#ad


And then we drilled the fuel rails out so we can bolt the rails to the blocks...

Gotta finish the dry sump bracket for the bottom and it will be good to go...

Welding the bungs on the fuel rails...

Forgot to take pictures when we were done but I'll get some later...


Now onto the turbo kit...

The header flange bolts for some reason where just a little off... So it was decided to use the bridgeport and clearance them...
#ad

#ad


Now the ARP studs needed to be trimmed down a little... The ridge in the middle of the bolt was causing the flanges not to seat properly...
#ad

Ground them down a little to help seat the flanges...
#ad

 

Started fabbing the turbo headers last night...

what a nice thread!!!! great build... subscribed...

 

Sneak Peak of the updates...
#ad

 

The plan with the rear decklid/trunk is to have it to be able to lift off without unhooking the wing... Here's some sneak peak pictures...
#ad

 

Very nice build. Thanks for the great documentation and pics, please keep them coming, gonna be a beauty.

 

So the original cross metal for the trunk lid was scrapped... Cut up the stock trunk and did this...
#ad


Then welded in the underside to seal it off...
#ad


And next is to cut the wing up to improve it and attach it...
