Whizbang will become famous soon enough
well the brakes have finally been figured out. Brian (Driver216) came out (denote picture below) to lend a hand for a while. Took a lot of tinkering but ii got the caliper to clear the rotor. Then came the brake line issues. The calipers are forward of the spindle so the stock FC brake lines didnt just "work". I tried rebending the hardline piece but that proved futile. Ended up using the stainless FB ones i already had. Got everything bleed and holy crap, the pedal feel. The thing is gonna stop good.

Next i just wanted to see what the Primes looked like. Well they for sure clear, but once i get tires on them i am going to HAVE to run fender flares.

Since the intake manifold, throttle bodies etc came in i wanted to get the mounted up. But the intake manifold need some work. Had to port match the hell out of the primary runners. They were way off. Then drilled and tapped for the brake booster vacuum nipple. From here assembly the intake and throttle bodies was pretty straight forward. I believe it uses Bosch injectors, so i am going to have to obtain a set. I also need to figure out how i am going to run the TPS.
