Re: Twin Turbo '66
The front bars through the firewall and attached to the frame are in as well. They follow the inner fenders perfectly, and although i don't have a fiberglass front end or anything we will still have the ability to pull/put on the front end all together as one clip. As well as this will give us a decent place to mount turbos and stuff off of. From here all we have is alot more welding to do, and one final bar to put in (dash bar) and the cage will be complete.

Re: Twin Turbo '66
We also got the fittings finalized for the front water manifold. With using the stock alt/power steering pump bracket i had to get an aftermarket tensioner for the serpentine belt. The thick aluminum puck is just the spacer to get it out to the stock truck spacing, and we were able to chuck it up in the lathe and get the middle taken out for the fitting to fit inside it. This allowed the bottom fitting to fit tight, and all look clean. The -16AN fittings are quite large and made it sort of difficult, but am glad we were able to get this figured out and make it look so clean.

Re: Twin Turbo '66
Another 417 Motorsports post.....
We needed a tank built for our rear radiator set up so we picked a spot in the bed and measured it out. I then modeled it up in Solidworks and sent them the drawing so that they could make it to my specs. They did an amazing job on it and it looks fantastic! Im almost a touch sad that it would be covered up with a tonneau cover. The tank will be mounted with cap flush with the bed top, with the fitting on the bottom will fit/mount the EWP 150 external water pump. with fittings going to the motor, and then out of motor to radiator and from radiator back to this tank. Cant wait til we can start mocking all this stuff up once we get the rest of the cage welded up and can finally move on. |
