I already posted about the body mods I am doing with my car in this thread;

Quite a few things have happened since my last post in my car. I have replaced the Cobra rims with 18" black Saleens.
I tore the motor down to do a cam swap and discovered that the cranks thrust surface was damaged creating excessive thrust clearance. Rather than putting money into the damaged crank I bought a new one. So, my motor will now be a 393 stroker.
I wanted to use a oil cooler that came on late model Explorers. So, I used a Explorer timing cover, and alternator bracket. The power steering bracket, water pump, and pulleys are from a 94-95 mustang GT. I had to shim the Explorer alternator bracket out 3/8" to get everything to line up nice.
Fast forward a bunch and you get this;
It's alive! Time to make the turbo stuff. It will be in the trunk.
Like this;
Heat wrapped and oil pump plumbed.
Cold air will be drawn in through Lexan quarter windows with NACA scoops on each side of the car, and a 3" hole in the floor.
This brings me up to where I am at now. Making a box for the outside air to be piped to. The air filter will be inside it. The 3" hole in the floor will add extra air and will double as a drain for water that may get pulled in by the NACA scoops.
without the air filter installed.
Filter installed and the box sealed up.
from the back.
Getting closer now. I need to install the quarter louvers, inside rear trim panels, install and seal up the NACA scoops, finish up my T-top install, and get the rest of the interior in.
