Got a little bit of time today to make some progress on the engine mounts before the block and head goes off to the machinist. I decided to go with alloy because that's probably the hardest possible option...

Drivers side is finished I just have to machine up a nolathane bush.

Blah blah pictures below

But why is the throttle body at the back?
Because I never wanted a front mount cooler.

Machined up some bits

Some fake injectors for mocking up the 8 alcohol injectors in the custom manifold and a solid water block off for the 4ZE1 block as I'll run an electric water pump. Also pics of rear rims I am running. Have given up on the billets for now. Will run custom 3 peice rims after I get it up and running.

This is a fantastic build man. What are your plans with this car? It looks like you are tubbing it pretty significantly; drags?
