One of my goals for the project was to get the engine bay "show worthy". Not only does it look good, but it makes working on the car much more enjoyable when things are nice and tidy.

I went with the Toyota Landcruiser master clutch cylinder. It's beefy. Took minor modification to fit, and I did not end up doing any welding. I used the male to male thread pitch adapter and everything looks like it's going to work. The master cylinder itself is cast iron, should be pretty stout if the seals hold up over time.




I installed the lines, and started working on the subframe. The original subfrm from Mazda needs to be replaced with an aftermarket subframe designed for LS engines. I went with a setup from Ronin, and had the subframe powdercoated from them. Install went okay, I did end up having to grind down some welds on the top of the subframe so that it would sit flush to the chassis rails. I used my grinder and took off the bumps of the welds and all is good!



Raised welds here:




Old subframe out and some heat shield installed:





Used some metallic tape to clean up the edges:
