El Cheapo vs. 440

Finally I realized that I would have to cut the car to mount my headers. There was way too less room to install the engine and then weld the headers together. These were the first cuts into the car that really hurt...



But now I was able to finish the headers. After mocup I will reinforce this area.





Next thing was the nice Mr. Gasket Vertigate Shifter.
After cutting in the enginebay I was used to cut deeper than I wanted...



Building aircleaner from scrap









my open air shop



now testfittig of the front.
To fit the aircleaner under the scoop and to get heat out of the enginebay, I raised the hood about 2" in the rear



Now it looks as ugly as before :realcrazy:



Same time I reduced some more weight.
I deleted the handbrake. No one needs a handbrake!
And installed the instrument cluster without anything but the plastik top.



Next thing is ripping it all apart and rebuilding the groups for final installation.
Need to go racing in May.
