97 cobra procharger f1a build

[encasedmetal]

So I guess I will finally post more details about my car as I am very close to putting the motor back in the car. this past weekend I did final assembly on the heads, and mocked up all the procharger bracketry before getting too far along. Also took the PSR intake fully apart cause JB weld is not what needs to be on this motor- so everything was rewelded strong. I also decided to cut off the EGR mounting location and move my coil packs to that side of the intake above the pass side fuel rail for a clean look, also rewired the wiring harness to accomplish this as well. I really hate that **** eyed #### that vortech and procharger move your coil packs to. so gonna put the motor back in soon and then fab the intercooler piping. I will take pics soon, and ask any questions you want. here's my mod list minus a few parts I will be adding shortly:
