20B FC progress. Pics.

Ok.
Im still recovering from mono/ car accident so progress has been very slow. But I am getting energy back and everything seems to be going smoothly. Only missing a handfull of parts (fuel line, block off plates, dual alt belt pully).

Today I setup the engine to be installed in the car.




:-D

Buying, or installing and making useable, are two VERY different prices.

That IC is huge! Do you think airflow will be an issue since its blocking over 50% of the radiator? I am so jealous I always wanted to do this swap. Looks like fun.

Hahaha.
Proper ducting will help with any air flow problems, plus I am using a high flow fan.

Got the main harness done .

Chris its easy as 123, I did mine practically by myself * my wife operating the engine hoist. Oh, I have not bought a FD yet! In time

Marc I was inquiring about the airflow. When I was in Okinawa, Japan a guy that worked with my dad had a similar set up as you had airflow issues due to the size of the IC. Like you said with proper ducting I guess it could be OK. Good luck with your project. I would love to see it when it's completed. By the way I am the guy you met when you were picking up Blake's TII shell in Portland. Oh, did you ever pick up that black interior @ the junkyard in Battleground?
