the motor mounts aren’t solid, but i’m fairly certain that I have plenty of room side to side on the hole that there won’t be any interference. if there is, I’ll trim some more. ---

I had to get a set of 3/8" header flanges and 2 sets of header gaskets to push the headers a little further out so I could clear the angle plugs that the heads have… ![http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/turbojohnny_2009/DSC_0033-4.jpg](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/turbojohnny_2009/DSC_0033-4.jpg) ![http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/turbojohnny_2009/DSC_0034-5.jpg](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/turbojohnny_2009/DSC_0034-5.jpg) ![http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/turbojohnny_2009/DSC_0035-4.jpg](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/turbojohnny_2009/DSC_0035-4.jpg) the t5 and t56 slave cylinders both use a quick connect fitting for the factory hydraulic line. I’m not using the factory line, but I was able to find an adapter fitting that goes to a -3AN line, same size as my Wilwood master cylinder. It was not a cheap fitting though. another thing I came across, t56 slave cylinders have no bleeder valve, t5 slaves do. so I went with the t5 slave, it was cheaper too! ![http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/turbojohnny_2009/DSC_0036-4.jpg](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/turbojohnny_2009/DSC_0036-4.jpg) ![http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/turbojohnny_2009/DSC_0037-3.jpg](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/turbojohnny_2009/DSC_0037-3.jpg) ![http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/turbojohnny_2009/DSC_0038-3.jpg](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/turbojohnny_2009/DSC_0038-3.jpg) ![http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/turbojohnny_2009/DSC_0039-3.jpg](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/turbojohnny_2009/DSC_0039-3.jpg) ![http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/turbojohnny_2009/DSC_0045-2.jpg](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/turbojohnny_2009/DSC_0045-2.jpg) ---

just looked at this thread, nice progress. i cant believe how easy it is to run exhaust in that car. should get it on a dyno and see how much of that power makes it to the rear wheels, my guess is itll be low 200’s. where did you get the adapter fittings for the clutch line? speedways the cheapest place that ive found them ---

lol It’s definitely going to make more than low 200’s at the rear wheels. I just ordered the adapter fitting from a seller on ebay. fastest and easiest way i could find it. ---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ---------- more progress… had my clutch line made, got some AN fittings, plumbed the fuel line, and the clutch line.
