managed to get a jig made up to locate the turbo for welding up the header. I should have the flanges cut frmo the shop next week and my SS bits showing up then too. Ordered my megasquirt this evening (promo was going for 18% off)
intake will be finished by the end of september from my welder (he is going to be on vacation for a couple weeks)
I need to have a radaitor made up for the car but have already mocked up the space needed so I should be ready to fire once I get it wired up and finish the fab on the motor. _________________ 1962 Fairlane- 250" aussie inline six cleveland, T5, hydroboost disc brakes, power steering, EFI....the list goes on.

started in on the header this evening. need to make a run for some PVC for laying out the rest of it (SS pipe is a little pricey to play with)
I also almost am done building my megasquirt3 board. Intake was dropped off to get finished welding this morning and should be done in a couple weeks. hoping to get this thing fired up this fall still. _________________ 1962 Fairlane- 250" aussie inline six cleveland, T5, hydroboost disc brakes, power steering, EFI....the list goes on.

messed with my truck most of this fall trying to get it running right (which it still isn't)
figured the car needed a little love so I did this over the afternoon...
Started out as a Crites brace. replaced the firewall piece with a wider section so I could clear the master cylinder. I then added a brace between the shock towers. I might add a gusset between the plate on the shock tower and the brace to take the stress off the mitered joint.
I also cgrabbed a lower brace but I am not sure I am going to use it yet. _________________ 1962 Fairlane- 250" aussie inline six cleveland, T5, hydroboost disc brakes, power steering, EFI....the list goes on.

bolts in on stock mounts, "cheap" and different.
would be alot simpler if I skipped the turbo, pb, ps and ac....
trying to figure out a radiator right now. looking like a custom crossflow unit....or a corvette one. _________________ 1962 Fairlane- 250" aussie inline six cleveland, T5, hydroboost disc brakes, power steering, EFI....the list goes on.
