Box it in and add a gusset... from the smaller tube to the larger

I'm no engineer

 

[klyph]

I was planning on boxing it in, but I don't think the gusset is necessary, as the smaller tube extends downward far enough to act as a gusset. I am also planning on adding a piece on the transmission side to allow it to be bolted with three bolts instead of just the two.

Got the engine bay painted. Rustoleum stiyuhl!

Also upgraded the Trans mount to utilize three holes instead of 2. I had to drill and tap the holes from M10x1.25 to M12x1.75 since nobody carries any M10x1.25 or M12x1.25 bolts. I think it turned out nice, other than I already fucked up the paint in the vice.

I painted the Rear Mount and used some M14 nuts as spacers since I didnt feel like drilling and tapping the existing M12's into M14's, so i just cut off the ones I had, and used my ghetto spacers.

And finally, I spent about 3 hours cleaning the Intake Mani and fuel rail. I'm so disappointed in how dirty it still is

She's getting closer every week.

Hey bro, just a tip. When I cleaned up my IM, I cleaned it good, then sprayed it with a couple light coats of some high-heat paint. Turned out great!
