My 25.5 coupe project

Only question I have is why didnt you mount all of your overflow bottles in the back of the car?

I think about that on every car I've had, and it does make sense in most cases. The trans never looses much fluid, if any, so a full quart can is more than enough. I have also never filled a quart resevoir of coolant. I suppose if the head gasket had a leak into the coolant passage it could happen if it went unnoticed. I did consider that when I mounted the coolant tank more inboard to help reduce the possibility of driving over a leak. I really like the easy access to everything, and simplicity of plumbing. Hopefully it doesn't bite me in the ass later, huh?
 
I dropped the coupe off today to get the headers built, and snapped a few quick shots before loading it in the trailer. Not much new to look at, but the switch panel and electronics panel are mounted and wiring has been started. I'll be without the car for a few weeks, so I've been planning other project that can be done until it gets back such as door panels and dash work. I also have a few things to get done on the old Trans Am, so maybe that will be on the hoist next for some attention.

i think you should spend the money on a dig 7 box if you are planning on doing what we talked about before. alot more control over the timing system which is critical in nitrous cars
 
I agree, and that's definitely on my wish list, just need to dump a bunch more cash into the project to get it running yet.
 
I picked the car up today from getting the headers built. Thanks to Jeff at JR Racecraft for a killer job! We decided on stainless for longevity. They are a stepped design, with 2" into 2 1/8", a 4" collector, and short extensions with Vibrant stainless mufflers. The right side of the oil pan has 3 pickups hanging out, so Jeff built 2 of the header tubes to go outside of the k-member to gain the needed clearance. The driver's side was built in the same design to keep the lengths equal and for a nice, symmetrical appearance. The entire system is close to flush with the k-member, and has excellent ground clearance. I can't wait to hear what these sound like, THANKS JEFF!!!!
