Then I tackle the dash!
Then she runs
Tune is on june 1st!

Hood bulge
Hi LeeC,
Been checking up on your thread for a while now. Nice build. I received your PM inquiring about my hood. Since you're not the only person asking, I responded in my thread instead:

Hope that helps!

If you set the engine back far enough into the firewall, the hood will clear the engine, but not the stock intake manifold. See the link above for more clarification.
In other words, the formula to have a 1JZ / 2JZ engine in your FD RX-7 without lowering the steering rack while retaining the factory hood, is to push the engine into the firewall, and have a custom intake manifold.

you can get the carbon fiber hood from tech2. Its a bit pricey. Or get the a Scoot hood, also pricey. Cheapest way is to modify the stock one.
On another note I just got my kit in. Just missing the driveshaft and power subframe 
supposedly in back order
. I will start my build soon.

Did you run into any problems with the k member? Mine was a tight fit. I had to enlarge the two guide holes. Also the lower control arms were a pain in the *** to install.
