hpfiend Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 nice work! it seems like he has all sorts of space for that turbo in there- what is he missing? I guess the different intake routing cleared that space- very clever arrangement- oh It could be the electric fan and no battery- custom alternator mount in place of power steering- I can't believe that radiator hose survives long like that.... Even the EGR spacer coolant lines look more manly than mine! Man- its amazing what people can do... heres mine for a reference to show how cramped a fox 5.0 FI setup can be in comparison- (I know nothing compared to you lt1/ls1 guys)... http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj162/hpfiend/engine.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stared at it for awhile wondering where the hell he got all that room, too. Looks like he pushed the motor back a few inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I stared at it for awhile wondering where the hell he got all that room, too. Looks like he pushed the motor back a few inches. It might be set back. It's easy to set the motor back and move the radiator forward. Thats a nice, clean car. He should do something about that upper radiator hose before all of his hard work goes to waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should do something about that upper radiator hose before all of his hard work goes to waste. The Motor is sitting in the stock location. I agree that the upper hose looks close looking at the pic. If you see the car in person, the upper hose has several inches from the downpipe. I can understand the concern looking in the picture.
