Progress looks good, I kinda like those intake manifolds, they look nice at least. 

Radium fittings aren't cheap, but damned if they don't have the parts I need most of the time, and their quality is really nice.   I've got a ton of their stuff on the Mustang, and a little on the Aston as well.

That turbo kit looks beautiful!

I really like the "smoothed" transition to the lights.  Looks more OEM.

Ordered up most of the pieces to finish the AC system.   I'm going to put in swagelock fittings to convert the OEM lines to "universal" ends and then use normal "hot rod" style hose to connect to the Sanden compressor.   I think I'm going to need a 12" piece of hard line on one side of the compressor to get the lines clear of the spinny bits.

I -think- that's just about it for hoses/lines.   I'll get the pumps mounted (vacuum and intercooler) and finish out all of that plumbing, plus the oil lines and it should be all plumbed out up front.    Then the trans/diff coolers and plumbing (minus fuel system) is done.   Electrical will follow soon.

That video got way better feedback than I expected, so I'll make them a little more regularly.   Apparently my "off-the-cuff" narration is good enough, LOL.

Progress this week:

Plumbing.  Lots of plumbing.
- Cooling system is fully plumbed.  This is upper/lower AN lines for radiator, both heater hoses (including head shielding), and all of the steam/degas plumbing which makes for a bunch of hoses.   I was able to reuse the Aston degas tank.
- Power steering is fully plumbed.   I reused the Aston power steering reservoir, lines and cooling.  I did build a new line from the pump to the rack after converting the high side of the rack to 4AN (just TIG'd a fitting on).
- AC is about 1/2 done.   Line to the evap is done, and lines back to the reservoir are in place.  I need to cut both of those lines and adapt them to universal fittings to connect to the Sanden.   I also need to add a fitting for the GM pressure sensor and wire that in.  Doesn't look like any of that will be to terribly bad.

Next up:
- Put heat shield on clutch and install clutch line back to master.
- Rebuilidng one oil cooler line that I smashed while putting the subframe in.  Whoops.   
- Build the oil feed/return lines for the dry sump tank.
- Mount vacuum pump and connect hose to the brake booster.
- Mount reservoir and pump for the intercooler then install that plumbing.
- Mount diff/trans coolers and run hoses.
- Order/build air intake.   This will be 4" with a big K&N in the driver front bumper.

Once all that's done, wiring is next up.  I do have the harness put "in" where it goes, so in theory it's just sorting out the chassis side and integrating it, plus wiring up the cooling fan and vacuum/intercooler pumps.   Oh, and install/wire the GM DBW pedal.

Once all of THAT is done, I need to sort the fuel system upgrades (new pump, lines, fuel pump control module, boost-a-pump).   Then it's reinstall suspension, measure and have half-shafts fabricated.

It's a big list, but progress is going well.  If the wiring goes well and my clutch/engine work was good, I think this should go smoothly.

17x9 +25 will be pretty wide up front.   Should fit fine out back if you have rolled fenders, depending on your tire choice.

The +40 might be a better fit up front, but it's been a minute since I sized FC wheel offsets.  What tires are you looking at, size wise?

That IC bracket looks pretty beefy!

Glass filled nylon is super cool stuff.  I need to get a better dry box so I can do carbon nylon for engine bay bits.

Made some progress on the car.  Redid the fuel lines to (hopefully) clear the last of the stuff in the bay that was in the way.  Installed the harness and got it located where it needs to be.  Swapped an incorrect fitting in the water pump, torqued down the blower lid, put the plugs back in along with plug wires and fixed a belt routing error.

Next up I need to add a tiny bit of clearance in one area where the rack and ac compressor are a little close, then fix one broken wire I found near the DBW throttle body, then the engine should be ready to go back in.

I did also get the dry sump tank the catch can bracket installed.  I am going to snag some 5/8 hose to pre-run for the heater hoses and power steering low pressure feed (suction) side tomorrow.  If all goes well I'll get the drivetrain in Saturday night or Sunday, then start finishing up cleaning the suspension arms (about 2/3 done with the rear arms) and put in poly bushings/reinstall.
