A lot of good work been done there


FB ute fixer upper, EK van on rotisserie

Sheesh!, Simon... by golly there's some work in there.... just take a peek at that firewall.. and the radiator baffles... that's some serious metal...
Motor look huge in the bay... and yet to have fittings... engineer will freak!... and probably ask for a bit.. but, it's out in the open and easy access.... and - you can weld!.... build is in great hands...

Not that much left to go in the engine bay.

Alternator and air con pump are mounted down the bottom out of the way. I need to mount the remote electric water pump and the coil packs etc.
Booster is under the dash so it will be a nice clean engine bay.

Yes, Simon - you will have to work in this engine bay during the life of the vehicle.... removing clutter makes that a lot easier... "stuff" gets in the way.
How are you planning on accessing the spark plugs... getting to #7 in a V12 Jag was a nightmare...

Spark plugs are all accessible with a normal socket. Made sure of that when I built the headers

The other reason for removing clutter is to leave room for some hair dryers

Great work Mr Taz,

Yeah I look at FB now and then, not impressed ! Seems to me everyone wants to be the hero, funny things we humans.

Anyway, I'm sure you will make it fit no problems.

The bonnet catch lives in there, but the plunger doesn’t come down below the support bar.

Do you need to run a thermo fan(s) in there, or is there enough room between the radiator and LS1?
