^thats the plan dude, haha. Im not much on explaining everything, but i take a lot of pictures, so i hope they can help explain.

For the record, the oil pan isnt on in those pics. i'm building a custom one but i need to raise the motor mounts about a 1/4 of an inch before i can start taking measurements for the pan. so thats the next step...

gettin started..





idk why i havent done this yet, but i decided to remove all the sound deadening




and started trying to fit everything up for my fuel cell






working on cutting out sheet aluminum panels to go around the fuel cell to clean it up a little.

i also started making my intercooler and radiator. they should be done this week and ill post pics.

So because the accessories of the 5.0 stick a mile off the front of the motor, i had to figure out what to do for a radiator and fans, so i took some measurements and decided to put the radiator underneath the radiator support instead of behind it. I needed a radiator of 16 inches tall, 26 inches wide and had the necks in the right places to work with the 5.0l.

I came across a 300zx aluminum radiator for real cheap, exactly 26 inches wide, but it was about an inch and a half too tall. Decided to buy it and just cut and weld it to fit. Worked like a charm!



Once that was done, I decided to get working on the intercooler. It came from a v-mount set-up so the inlet/outlet were on the top of the intercooler instead of on the sides like your average front-mount.

What im doing here is cutting the inlet/outlet off and using a hole-cut to make the holes on the sides of the intercooler to weld the inlet/outlet back on. The holes being cut out will be rewelded back to the top of the intercooler to close up those holes. Im gonna be making this a midmount setup, so its going to be right up under the radiator support along with the radiator for optimal throttle response and awesomeness.
