It is curved in towards the arm a bit. That was the best i could do. If i had set the arm out any further, it would have been too far off the throwout bearing. I will call the Kirkhams and see what they think.


You know how they say it is the little things that add up and are the costs that you forget to include in the budget??? I just placed a 700.00 order for fuel lines, fittings, and filters. OUCH!

Fuel pump and pre filter installed.



Any suggestions on which side of the frame rail i should run the fuel lines on. Obviously i do not want to run the fuel line next to the battery cable, but i could still run it on the inside of the passenger rail. Im getting a little confused on where to cross the line over if i want to run them on the drivers side 4" tube. I dont really want the lines just hanging down at the bottom of the frame rail, not that i would every plan on it bottoming out there. If it did, i would probably have much larger problems.

Shot Forward



Oil lines finished. I am not running a oil cooler. I just really dont see it being necessary for the street. If you are running braided stainless lines spend the 20 bucks on the snips from summit. I used to cut them with a die grinder, but it made a mess and the smell of the burning rubber hose was terrible, even with a nice mask on. Not to mention, it takes a lot longer and you must use tape. With the snips, i simply cut, slather the line and fitting with oil, slide the fitting in place and screw the other half in place



This is a bit of an ugly picture. I was seeing if the Shelby shifter i had left over from a mustang build was going to work and surprisingly, it appears it is going to be in just about the right spot.






Ok, i am going back to the garage to measure the run out on the bellhousing.

Thanks to Brent at B2Kmotorsports for hooking me up with a very nice starter.






Im in a holding pattern with the engine and transmission now until the offset dowels arrive.
