I'd wrap the other side similarly

I didnt even think about that part, i may have to pull the other one off and wrap it

Make progress still although slow. I finally got the front clip back on. Now I have planned the position of the PCM, relay box, junction box to conceal soldered spliced. (It’s white in the pic but I plan to paint it black. Also up there is a vacuum reserve for the HVAC doors in the dash.

I have all the wiring figured out and a bunch of it will be trimmed out. The radiator overflow bottle is a universal one that will be mounted on the drivers side.

Actually, I think I’ll move the vacuum reserve ball over to the drivers fender well. It’s no problem running a vacuum line across the firewall. This will allow me to spread the other components out a bit and make room for a batt + and batt - terminal blocks.

I’m not trying to win any awards for appearance but I want a clean reliable wiring plan that’s easy to access, diagnose and work on.

you could always mount the ball on the bottom of the fender well under the battery. plenty of room there for that.

is that set up originally for a b body or what? i'm interested in more details. i have an unused vortech sc. was meant for a 94 f body that mounted the sc down low on the drivers side. would love to mount it up high like the pic shows, so i can avoid the steering gear on a g body.

I'm running a 93 f body motor with a pieced together mount. Don't want to hijack the op's thread , but if either of you need anything message me

You can carry on here, no worries.

How much boost is your max? Stock compression ratio? What injector size? What’s your total timing at max boost?

I’m interested in these things since a twin turbo setup may be in the future for ours. Smaller turbos to minimize lag time and limited boost of course.
