Can't be all that much, right? I assume the difference is roughly 30 pounds or so?

 

piping is the easy part.

 

freakin sick man. nice to see you making progress

 

No the piping isn't the easiest. I understand how to fab piping. I plan on running an FMIC. The bay is designed for a four banger. When you cram a six in there and already have to cut into the firewall for the TB and the hood for basically the whole motor it becomes painfully clear that piping will be a significant project. To give an example of the tight clearances, I have less than 1/2 cm between the steering shaft and the left manifold.

JClaw, some speculate that the FB's are up to 100lbs heavier than the coupe. That is a huge chunk of glass on the hatch not to mention the struts, windsheild wiper motor and parts, etc. I prefer the looks and chassis benifits of the coupe any day.

 

Thats pimp dude! Congrads on getting the car running. Who cares what the car looks like.....It has a 3 litre! Does the 240 cluster work, or are you using the maxima guages.

Custom Gauges...

Check homepage. SPA Dual digitals, Autometer 5" in-dash tach going in shortly in the dash hood.

 

Parts continuing to accumulate. Still need rotors, SS lines, 5 lug hubs and possibly adjustable RLCA's.


This may no longer be all motor so... mods feel free to move.

Have you considered cutting and fipping the intake like I did on my engine? I believe I could mount a supercharger on mine without too much trouble. Depending on what room you have upfront it might work on yours as well.
