Looks like your close to making some noise.....

Electrically I am ready to fire. I need to plumb up the radiator and heater lines, put an exhaust in it, fluids, gas and hope for the best. Just a few more weeks out, I hope.

Awesome!

Awesome!

Then I'll just need to plumb the brake hydraulics and pop a seat in it to drive.

Exciting times!!!  Can't wait to see the video of you driving that beast.

Hope your gonna use the OE booster? Cause I think a big part of the issues people have with aftermarket brakes is related to those junk generic boosters & poorly matched master cylinders....

No booster. Wilwood spec'd the master cylinder bore, we'll see how it goes.

They built the calipers, they should know what pressures you need... As long as the pedal ratio is what they used for calcs..

Yep, I provided the pedal ratio they needed.

Got the firewall master cylinder support welded. The factory version of that part just wasn't looking right, so I drew up a part to be cut.

Can't tell from the picture looks like 3/8 plate? Could be a structural beam connector.

1/4". I need the depth to have a proper stud head recessed behind the two bolt master. That is why typical adapter plates are 1/4". It also needs to be fairly solid since it has to seal quite a bit of firewall there.

Clearing out the fuel system before I hook up the fuel rail. Pressure side of the regulator is leak free and the fuel gauge seems to be working with the marine sending unit.

Also filled the trans today, I'll get to priming the engine later this week. I'm picking some low-hanging fruit before I go on my trip so that my "needed to start" list is pretty short upon my return.

Can't wait to read the message you post when you get it running.  Maybe a little video too?   

Nice job man.
