Just need to take the tach wire to tach input on the box. This was the only place i could find to fit this box thats away from heat and moisture and vibration ---

nope had some problems with the motor install and header install. I cant get the motor in right with both headers in place in the engine bay. I took the drivers side out and was able to get the motor in just fine BUT now the drivers side header cant be slipped in from underneath do to the road race oil pan kickouts…sooo the motor is back out and i’m gonna try dropping the trans to allow abit more room to work with when both headers are in place in the bay. Probly not gonna do that today, hopefully all day tomorrow ---

Been awhile since i updated… motor was in last saturday 🙂 everything fits pretty good. Got the new motor mounts in friday before that and saturday i dropped the trans crossmember and moved the trans back 6 inches to get enough room to angle the engine in better. Dropped right in and the headers fit great. got the rockers on today [![http://inlinethumb02.webshots.com/34305/2523828610096720624S600x600Q85.jpg](http://inlinethumb02.webshots.com/34305/2523828610096720624S600x600Q85.jpg)](http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2523828610096720624EkAifr) ---

only the s bends to the collector are fully welded and yes i did grind them down to make them abit more presentable. the rest of them are just tacked in several spots. and by the way, i cant tune your girls car unless you get the adapter piece for the chips i use and burn. its like 50 bucks for the adapter and 2 chips ---
