Yea there's tons of room behind the lights, I should have took a better top view picture. The only thing i may have to do is cut the wires and extend them to route them around the piping.
Damnit I love this car!!!! another TRUE SS!!!😉What water pump are u running?"keep my gloveSS dirty,but my handSS clean"!!!
Thanks man!! I'm running all stock F-body stuff, so its just a stock Camaro water pump that I drilled and tapped the top to run a steam line from the pump to the steam ports instead of running it back to the rad.
Awww me CE!!! niCE.I'm sooooo doing this on my 4.8 twin turbod "Gran sport" 86 regal.remember,one of the biggest forms of flattery is copying!!!😉 thanks for the insight/idear!

So I got a fair amount of work done this weekend, really hoping to have the car turn over very soon.
Goodies from Summit Racing
Since I moved the battery to the trunk a friend pointed me in the direction of running a Ford style solenoid in the trunk so there isn't a bunch of current running through the car at all times
Got the circuit breaker and push/pull kill switch all wired up
Ran the power to the front to a power stud i bought, from there I'm distributing the power to the body, alt, and it will power up my aftermarket fuse panel also
Finished mocking up my intercooler piping, I started with this
But I really wasn't happy with how abrupt the turn was going into the main intake tube so I switched it up and came up with this instead
I feel like it was a lot smoother of a transition and looked way cleaner! Well that's it for this update, this weeks projects will be getting the shifter mounted up and wired, running the wiring for the fuel pump, mounting the fan to the rad, and hopefully finish up the wiring for the pcm and start testing!

Thanks! I Can't wait to get the cold side all welded up and coated will look 10x better.
Been a little while since I've updated this, been really busy starting a new job so that's been occupying all my time. I got all the cold side welded up, just waiting for a bung for the IAT sensor and my Tial blow off valve to get here then that is all finished up. I got some really minor stuff tied up.
I got the fuel pump wiring all done, I ran the Racetronix GN hotwire kit. I would recommend this to anyone using an electronic pump, it runs right off the stud on your alternator so your fuel pump gets a steady constant 12v. I modified mine to work with my set up, it comes all nicely loomed and with nice weatherpac connectors and a weather proof relay.
I got 2 little K&N filters one for the rear end housing and the other for the gas tank, i mounted them up on a little heat shield nice and out of the way of everything
I bought a stainless flex bellow to finish off routing the wastegate back into the downpipe hopefully it will make install and removal a little easier and keep everything from binding up and cracking
I also made a nice little shifter bracket, I just need to add something in the front for support, but I ran out of gas for my welder and haven't had time to get more, it isn't the most cosmetically pleasing but it put the shifter in the perfect place for me comfort wise but also keeps the shifter 90 degrees when in high gear which is nice, i might try to put my console in and see how it fits. The neutral safety switch is all hooked up and wired to the solenoid in the trunk.
Also modified the driver side valve cover to fit a AN fitting to run to the catch can, i bought an oil fill cap for the passenger side that has the AN fitting built right into it.
Last but not least I finished up the cowl plate I got from Gbodyparts.com
So that's about it for now guys, hopefully get my BOV soon maybe weld up those bumper mounts I designed and next step is hopefully finishing the wiring and turning it over! Lots of work left to do, hoping I get some spare time!
