If you have the hydroboost might as well run it man. And are you not running a tubular k?

Good news is I scored (atleast I think) a used milodon 7qrt oil pan and pick up from ebay for $125 shipped. I had to get it cause thank god milodon made their adjustable oil pump bigger then most so it don't clear my FRPP swap oil pan.

Can you guys actually believe it?! I actually worked on the POS almost all day! So got the bay decent still might do some more on it? I got about 95% of the wiring hidden. I noticed someone before me wired the fan to a switch and that im assuming the CCRM took a shit. I can also see the CCRM has been tampered with. So heres a few pics of my progress.
Driverside:
I ran the wiper wiring threw the hole I made so it wont be seen when the wiper cowl in place
Comes out threw here
Passenger side
I'm going to remove that big sticker and possibly replace it or just leave it off all together.Here is how it will look minus.
And why you ask is cervinis so expensive? Well the underside is as sexy as the top side.
And this is where it all happens:
Oh and I love my $11 furniture/car dollies!!
Tomorrow its off to the machine shop to drop off the oil pan,and get some black paint to touch up some of the stuff.

Looks good I can't wait till I get to weld in my panels for the engine bay. What did you do/are you doing with the hrns that goes across the firewall on the back?
Very cool!! My next tear down, probably in a year or so, will include a smoothed engine compartment. Thanks for the good pictures showing the wiring tuck, I'm gonna try that myself.

If the one your talking about is the engine harness? I'm going to try to run it down low so it wont be visiable I hope.
Yes it makes it so much cleaner and more enjoyable to look at.

Not only did I get the kill switch installed,i also installed the mock up motor just to test fit again. Come to find out I need to relocate the CCRM cause it hit on the snail,and a little issue with the cold side pipe from the IC. Other then that it all looks good so far! This is just a moch up so don't pick it apart.I also installed my kill switch, I will be wiring the battery up tomorrow and welding in my SFC's, I hope!.... Enjoy
