Thanks, the exhaust is one of the few things i havent done. Ill get more pics of the fab work soon enough, im busy mocking up a bunch of different stuff before i take some stuff back apart and get ready for final install.
I also ordered some weld wheels, hopefully to make it stand out a little from every other syty with zr1 wheels. Should have them by feb maybe.

Been super cold, not much fun working in a "heated garage" when its only 32* in there. Got a few things figured out tho, searched and searched for a nice coolant tank by online pictures and found out a new gtr aftermarket tank fit perfect with a little luck and modifying. Also made up a bracket for the remote oil filter, got all the charge pipes and couplers made up and fitted also.

What brackets are you using for p/s and alternator? I like how tight to the engine they are. Interested for a boat install. Thanks.

The alt is a speed inc relocation bracket, hoping no belt problems as it uses this bracket as a manual constant belt tensioner like old school muscle cars.
P/s is a cbr performance bracket, it moved the ps up and in a little to get a tighter fit, nice solid billet cnc piece that bolts to the head and an extra idler that bolts onto the waterpump.
Its all fbody spacing which cost me a little in the rad/efan to engine clearance fwiw..
