sloppy alt bracket

cutting out our own high mount alt bracket for LS swaps, puts the turbo on the upper left, passenger side cyl head to free up all the room on the right side and make this easy for minimal swaps.






fairmont 4 fbody dash

trying something different in this car, going to see how a fbody dash works out in this car with the stock pcm


fairmont 4 running!

268,000+ mile motor runs great, i guess we can move on with the plans here.

motor in the black and grey car, mounts built

quickly tossed the engine and trans in the car today and made mounts, it is ready to roll around haha, gotta decide what i want to do next, hopefully getting an LS1 intake today or tuesday, i can start wiring this pig up and figuring out the fuel system etc, i think i will be doing a 255 or some thing we might have laying around in the tank, and then doing a corvette regulator and returning right at the tank, and then feeding up to the return less rail on the ls1 intake for now.
