SC570--The OFFICIAL build thread
#80
Thanks, Im extremely excited and cant wait to get it on the road.
Im going to try to flip it around, but worst case I either heat it and bend it accordingly, or cut and weld. As for the passenger header, the flange hits the DGR mount, so Im going to notch the flange plate just a bit, but may also need to cut into the mount slightly.
I was shocked when I put the stb on at how far back the engine actually is. I knew there was more room, but its shocking when you have something to judge the distance with.
In theory, but I need to check and be sure that the bolts can be used from both sides, but thats first thing thats happening today.
No the stock radiator is just being used for mock up to check clearances right now, but either a Megan or Mishimoto will be in its place soon
I can stand sideways between the front of the engine and the radiator and have room to move easily, so I dont doubt an SR could fit.
But hey, Ill be the first to admit, after everything was in, I sat in my garage for about 40min just staring at the car

Wow! very impressive.. will you be able to hook up AC and power steering? once you get it running you HAVE to post a video with good sound! can't deny the great sound a v8 makes.. Thing is going to roast the tires n/a.. and even more so when you boost it. Gonna be awesome man! keep up the good work!
