Finally saved enough cash to buy an eaton :burnout: I still need a few parts though... BAP, MAF, FUEL INJECTORS, IAT, RIBBED IDLER PULLEY, INTERCOOLER PUMP, BYPASS CANISTER that sits on the side of the blower.

you engine compartment look amazing with your attention to detail can't wait to see how your Eaton will look. I have a stock intercooler pump that I'm not going to use going to a trunk mount tank and larger pump pm me if interested.

Aeromotive with remote FPRS. -10 to the heater and -8 to the head cooling mod. They both run under the intake.

The front cover and tube were the only parts that turned out decent every thing else outgassed and bubbled to much so those are auto paint and clearcoat. I found out the hard way that are castings are to porous.

Not a NAZ. I had a lot of free time on my hands last winter either being laid off or barely working so I took a long look at the pictures Carlos posted and made my own. I't has custom air horns 1/8 bottom full porting and only cost $150.00 for everything

Very creative a real piece of art work. Were you happy with the performance results on your custom intake ? Looking foward to more pics when you start the conversion.

Looking foward to more pics when you start the conversion.Didn't get a chance to test it out (to many issues with the rest of the car) and then I came into some cash and decided to go with a Cobra swap.

Sweet and did you just modify your stock coolant lines w/the fittings and such? I probably won't add the heater and head cooling lines to mine but love the way the coolant lines look.

I am planning an Eaton swap of my own down the road (get the brackets for my birthday this month :D) and would like to add that pretty coolant line setup when I modify the cross over tube for the Eaton.

I'll be changing my crossover because of the Eaton swap. I think I'll be running the cooling mod straight to the heater core and eliminate all the extra lines. Pics coming soon.
