When you look at the first pics. of the drivers side up on the lift, what is the 3''--4'' round motor looking thing just above the intercooling piping with the black and red wire plugged in the end?

Hello gang. A major milestone has been accomplished...The plumbing is now completed!! There are a few tweaks that need to be done in about two weeks, but, I repeat, the plumbing is done. Except for the FMIC and intercooler tubing, all tubing from the heads to the mufflers is stainless.
I want to offer up special thanks to Mike Young, who I had finish what he started. Also, special thanks to VIctor and F&H Performance for taking over my unfinished project from DC and joining with Mike to finish my plumbing fabrication!! Without their dedication and commitment, I would most certainly have lost many thousands of dollars due to the sudden closing of DC, not to mention having to take a partially completed project to yet another fabricator...I am in your debt guys...take a bow, you deserve it!! F&H is an excellent shop!!
All that is left before my car parks back in my garage for final completion is paint. That is where it is now, and I do expect it will come back looking better than it did when it came off of the showroom floor. I have decided to post up some pics of the work...Mike, you sure can fab and weld...
For anybody that wondered if Mike's integrity was in question because he worked for and stood up for Ian Hannigan, well, I will tell you that Mike assured me he would finish my project when DC first went down, and I believed him. He has proven himself to me that he is a man of his word. During this most frustrating several weeks since DC went under, I was constantly assured by Mike that he would not let me down, and he did not. It is because of Mike, Victor and Billy Herndon (the landlord of DC) that I never really worried about my car, and that is why I also left my car there for 3 weeks to see if DC and Billy could work it out. I had faith that Mike would keep me whole. He and Victor did indeed do so. For those of you that suggested that Mike should have left town, you owe him a large apology.
Here are some more pics of Mike's fine work:
More to come...
