So I am closing up on my swap (foxbody 5.0 bored to 306 with tko600 and t-72 turbonetics passenger side fitment). I have ran into several small issues I need to relocate my ABS block and Line lock kit, as well as I need my new 3 core rad to move closer to the bumper and mount the intercooler. I have seen team motorsports lower rad mount and intercooler mount is this a good product will it fix that mounting issue? Also has anyone ever relocated ABS block what tools do I need where should I mount it when I move it etc. I know there is not a lot anyone can tell me to do with the line lock since it is aftermarket but a suggestion there would be nice as well this is my first big project so far has went great any suggestions would be awesome thank you! Also for anyone curious after those issues get resolved next is removing all wires and hooking up my termi X kit. ( I can post photos tonight )

its such a minor move you can just bend them into place. Now it might be in the way of your intercooler piping in that area though.

I am posting to this thread again for more assistance. I first need to source a good set of cold side pipes for my specific turbo setup (fox body setup with a Turbonetics mounted on passenger side running a j-line Mishimoto fmic as seen in photos). Then I need to know how and where to relocate my ABS and line lock systems so they do not interfere with the piping. Next I need to find a good way to mount the intercooler, and how to bring the radiator closer to the bumper so it does not interfere with the cold side piping behind it. If anyone can assist or answer any of these questions in any way shape or form I would very much appreciate it.

you can flip the abs pump to the inside of the frame rails to gain some space in the engine bay, but it might be in the way of the piping going around. I think I will be up near mine and can get a pic of it for you, I have the line lock mounted to the abs pump.

Ok I just need to find cold side pipes that fit the car before I can mock it up that way. Any idea on where to find some I found a company but I don’t know if it will have the proper fit.

Cx racing had kits, on3 has kits, B&G makes all kinds of great turbo stuff for our cars. Hellion makes kits.

All just depends on your price range.

My hot side is from B&G. It’s a very well built quality piece. It’s a shame I’m gonna have to cut it up.

I haven’t purchased a cold side from anyone yet. Plenty have used the cx products and had good luck. B&G is known for really great parts but they take time to build anything and ship it as it’s a small business. Hellion makes really nice stuff but your gonna pay a premium!!!!

Good to know I think after I gather some cash the Cx racing seems like a good kit.

one thing i appreciate about the ON3 site is they sell all the parts in their kits separately along with all kinds of stuff you might need. just thought i'd mention in case you haven't looked over their website.
