I found the info on master cylinder,I can't find the one for the clutch master.clutch master is a wilwood and I believe was under brake master cylinders with remote mount reservoir and I believe a 5/8" bore.

What are you doing for the rear shocks. I have the old ground control adjustable shocks but have never liked them only ones that did not cost 2 grand and no one offers full coilovers anymore that I know of. Keep up the good work.

Had to fabricate a mount on the diff for the pan hard bar turned out nice,used the existing stock chassis mount on the other end.
Was also able to mount up the brake calipers and start doing some brake lines

Hopefully I can have the brakes functional by next week so I can start on mounting in the engine and transmission.

It will be boosted with the help of a precision 6766 ball bearing turbo
I need to get the intercooler,radiator,and fans mounted to see how much room I got to start fabbing up the turbo manifold.
