Amazing!! Pure inspiration and exceptional craftsmanship.

Got some more work done on the diffuser and the only two things left to is the figuring out the exact spot for the bearing hubs for the rear shell hinges and powder coating. I used M8 ratchet clamping handles and 10mm shoulder bolts. I have 1.5mm clearance between the diffuser and wing uprights...

The old man's favorite spot. Always snoozing where I need to work.

Just a few more pictures on the available space for the E-Stopp placement.

Hey fellows. I am looking for SLC side exhaust fabrication pictures. Couldn't find much detail on the net. I have the flanges but not sure if they will be used/needed and 3" bullet race mufflers. Do I need to switch bolts from the manifold to the flange? Thank you

Do you ever eat or sleep? Looks good, lots of inspirations.

Congratulations, I am so jealous. I am at least two months away from engine start. That intake really gives the engine a nice touch.

I always had my concerns looking at where I initially placed the E-Stopp servo. I recently received word that a fellow SLC owner had a failing unit and was unable to reach it for repair or replacement. I am certain that can be resolved by using a different attachment method to the outer rail but...

A few month back I started to look into solutions to eliminate the factory hardware for the rear diffuser and to remove all flexing and deflection. I think I finally found the final version of it. After looking for existing attachments points, it hit me. The transaxle is a fixed point in space...

Very nice, I have to remember this when I am getting to this point..

And while tube notching never really was one my favorite sports I think the outcome here is presentable. Ready for powder coating. I am indecisive about which color to chose. My favorites are satin black and chrome effect. Any suggestions? While designing this brace I considered the integration...

Thanks Joel, There is/was more cramming stuff into that engine bay. Here is the revamped fuel system. Now good to 1600 HP. I went with components from Radium and Hyperfuel (very spacy). The surge tank went external due to serviceability into dead space and is removable with two screws. I found...

Here is the final version of the intake system. Everything is tight but it went in as planned. Filler neck clears and still room for the side exhaust. Fitted heat shields for the filters which will still receive thermal barrier material.

I spent some time with the factory center console. I was able to modify it to be used with the Audi R8 shifter. Still needs some finishing but I think the pictures are showing what it will be when done. Not sure if I will cover it with same Alcantara which are on the Tillets or do Hydro...

I wanted to share this alternate approach of fitting an SB4 engine into a SLC chassis. Here it is done on a Falcon F7 which is using an SLC base and wearing a different dress over it.This owner decided to go with water pump and accessory drive in place and had to cut and weld the living daylight...

Since I do not have a mechanical water pump I also do not have an accessory drive. I had to prototype my own alternator belt tensioner, turned the spacers out of 316 SS with an enlarged base to distribute the stress on the engine block. The hardware is all metric 12.9 grade, fully engaged inside...

The fine engineers at Mercury did not cut any corners when it comes to providing serious hardware with their engines. I love working with the Deutsch and Delphi connectors which come with the engine. While running the engine harness I eventually reached the first interconnect. I did my best to...

To keep things nice and tidy when they are large and accumulating can be a challenge. After some homework and summing up of what actually goes into this SLC engine bay, I came up with a compromise on aesthetics, practical approach, serviceability and space savings. This only worked because I...

I got started on routing the engine harness and fuel lines to the engine. Here are some pictures of the injectors and fuel rails with the intake removed.

The new cross brace is on hold until all electrical components are installed. One of the next posts will explain why. I am not using the original brace, not even parts of it. Here is where I stand. I also decided to use these new tube inserts for the cross brace and roll bar supports. They are...
