No F'n Way! Project v8 zx2 pics inside

[rockthemullet]

I've had quite a few askin about the progress on the car so I figured I would take some pics. Tonight, I was in for a very big surprise.

Pics from tonight:

Here was the surprise. Fits under the stock fuckin hood! If you notice in the pics prior, I have grease all over the bottom of the hood checking to see if it was making contact with the valve covers.

This is very good news. If I can manage to keep the intake mani tucked in the valley, this will make for less work/money and one more reason to make it a sleeper.

In the pics I have the front plates and front cover on the front of the block and the midplate and transmission bellhousing on the back with the bell going through the firewall.

Now back to work, I've got plenty to do.

I'm glad you guys think so.

Unfortunately, the black car in the background has been getting most of my attention/money lately. The cobra should be back on the road soon enough, then its back on the escort.

What can we put in my Escort? :hmm: :lol:

 

[rockthemullet]

Its the same chassis

But easier swaps would be BPT (turbo 1.8L from overseas), zetec (stock zx2/focus engine), or KLZE (2.5L mazda v6).

Wouldn't it be easier to just strap yourself onto the engine? That's very nice.....
