Ben es muy muy poor. No problemo senior, we make fast. How fast, homes? Es stupido...
On that note, we got all the parts. The only thing faster than this car is our approaching dead line

It rubs. We need to go down a size and hulk pull the fender. Also need a little wider of a spacer. Fits for now because no weight. But, si si. Es muy muy... Fast...

Not even hating this but I gotta ask is this a build thread or a brag thread?
I see a bunch of random pictures of a mostly disassembled FB with a V8 sitting next to it and barely any text in english about what the hell is going on. I'm not aware of many people that have done a build like yours so I know I'm not alone in wanting some insight into what a project like this takes. Talk us through what your doing, share what your held up on.
That said, I look forward to following the progress with this future monster

Just kiddin, there is a lot going on right now. I've been lazy getting the wiring started, may actually start that tonight now that I'm past my test. Also, if I remember correctly, I believe that the motor mounts may have been wrong (IE not the ones we asked for) so that is still getting taken care of. Another thing that is slowing down the progress a little bit is that if you take those pictures, and turn 180*, they would be pictures of the Digi Camo RX7 and that is still being finished up. All in all, no worries. Everything is at the shop from the drive shaft to the turbo, its just little hang ups but progress will be posted soon... homes (had to do it...).
On a side note, anyone know the weight reduction gained by removing the heat/sound protection stuff on the floor? It was coming off pretty easy when I located the battery, figured since the build is fairly stagnent while we wait for solutions I may try and remove it real quick. Just a thunk...

Got the back of the car pretty much all wired up the other day, just need a heavier relay pigtail for the fuel pumps. After I eat I'll start on the front wiring today. Since my camera is garbage, Ruler will need to take some pics when he has the chance.

I believe its a L33 with a cam. More info as we install stuff. Would help if the owner would post data, but he is useless thus far. Ruler has some progress pics, so those should be up soon. He can probably enlighten you with the actual specs

All thats left to do on the pick up is to bend and attach big hard line to mimic the stock pick up.
started with the stock pick-up cut off the hardlines and drilled the holes for the 2 feed bulkheads and the return.
then simply installed the bulkheads, the two taller ones are the feeds to each pump and will have bigger hard line mimicking the stock tubes.
Also started fabbing up seat brackets for the forza's (no pics though, mostly me playing with cardboard). will finish that morrow and get to finishing the rest of the interior(mounting dash, nitous bottle, and pluging up drain holes. then comes the fun part of final motor/tranny install, turbo fab, and of course all the little ****.
