The mount looks pretty slick! What did OF charge you for the brackets only if you don't mind? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

I have the motor and transmission in place so I can finish the motor mounts. The good news is the header and turbo fits nice between the motor and the firewall. There's about an inch between the turbo and firewall.

Are you considering flipping the intake manifold to shorten your charge pipe? Or possibly adding a water to air intercooler because the airflow for the air to air intercooler is not that great. I would recommend this addition while your at it.

I have an air to air innercooler and tubing that came with the motor that I may work for me. This motor was previously in a 914 and he didn't have the intake flipped, I'll have to wait when at that point to see what I'll need to do. The passenger side of the motor will have the pipe coming off the turbo so there will be an issue with heat on that side so that leaves me with mounting one above the motor on the left side or even the rear trunk area. I'm very fortunate about an hour north of me is Extreme Turbo Systems, they can build custom innercoolers and the plumbing to maximize the effectiveness of the turbo. Stay tuned this just staring to get interesting.

I'm a little disappointed to announce that since my progress report in October no major work has been completed on my car. I've purchased some parts for the final assembly but the last three months have been pretty difficult around our home with illnesses and surgeries. I'm looking to jump back on it later this month and get some good updated pictures and descriptions of progress.

I'm 100% and back at it, Just bought a FG body kit and looking to fit it to the car.

Gmanscott, did you buy Suby conversion built by Kent at Percision Chassis. That is an over the top awesome build.
