Mounting the fuel cell, fitting a a2a, and mounting trans and oil coolers is next. Then maybe some custom tigged hotpipes come fall..
We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the shifter. Your install looks pretty good too. We look forward to seeing this build progress!

Yes i do like the shifter, the whole kit came pretty complete and went together good, only issues i had were do to my parts choices and lack of room. I will say i wish you could make them to order with what shifter gate you need, or a kit cheaper without a gate and order the one you need with it as ill never need the gate it came with.
Ive got a bunch more pictures of the install all im missing is a thumb button plate for the two step if you wanna throw some sponsorship parts my way...lol


Speaking of pics is photobucket working now wtf??

I have installed the fuel cell in the bed, have a couple earls oil coolers sitting here i need to mount down low, and think im going to put some hood latches on it since the oe hood latch wont have much support once its hacked up for the a2a..

Fuel cell mounted, hood latches on, working on mounting the trans/oil cooler block i made up right now below the bumper. I got a garrett 24x12x3 a2a core and end caps im going to start making room to fit behind the grill next. And then im hoping i have someone lined up beginning of next month to take the truck to and have all of the hot and cold side pipes made and fitted..
Still moving along slowly but getting there..

Hoping to have it started and ready to work out all of the bugs come springtime or april. Already have a couple ideas of stuff to maybe redo or upgrade but i want to drive it first at least!

Big one is trans and small one is oil, turning out to be my favorite "custom" thing ive done so far and no one will ever see them or the brackets i made lol

This is cool, I have a buddy I've been helping with a Typhoon. I kinda want a syclone, but what a hard find these days.

I ordered both thru summit and the big one direct shipped from holley within a few days fwiw.



I can now offically drive over a beer can, plenty of clearance right..?

Next is to hack up the core support and the grill hopefully little as possible next to make room for a2a
