ETMC's LS1 Twin Turbo powered 1966 AC COBRA

[Firefly9r68]

I will have to apologize now for he crappy pictures :-( they are all from my I phone

now to start on the ALUM. starting with the front:












and moving to the REAR









man that last pictures turned out really bad :-(

anyways at that point i have the gas tank installed already, all the alum is in and sealed. now that was the easy part now to start the brake lines,pedal box,dash, eng, trans......





Brake MC. o what fun, i still dont have them adjusted right may have to rear the instructions for these..LOL..








now it is getting time to move it down to the main shop so i can use the welder and get to going on the motor





so far no real complaints that i have found except the rear brakes i had to have machined to fit the 8.8




MOTOR TIME NOW

for the motor i went with a block i had sitting around the shop. a old ls3 crank. some Eagle rods and wiesco pistons. to top it off some PRC 317 2.5 heads with a ls2 intake.

Went with a fresh t56 and a ACT twin disk clutch





for the mounts i had to cut the ford ones off and make my own mounts. I got some HSC rubber mounts and use the FFR trans mount in the rear with a F body rubber mount. The mounts in the picture are just when i was mocking it up. They are now boxed all in.





THE CUT OFF MOUNT AND WELDED BACK ON






now for the fun stuff. Mocking up the Turbo kit, and putting the March front drive kit on the car
