just a couple of tricks:

 

Machine the flange flat before welding anything onto in

take lots of time to organise pipe layout (Clearances between starter motor, steering boot, chasis, clutch, ect

Weld pipes in stages (e.g 1-4 to the collector, 2-3 to the collector then weld 2-3 onto flange, ect)

don't get too much penetration on welds (too much penetration will reduce the ID of the pipe causing more restriction)

get pipe lengths as equal as possible

tack pipes together before welding properly

get extractors machined flat after all welding is done

i will be getting the fuel pumps and the inlet manifold over the next 2-3 weeks

 

Here is the bend for up and over the diff

 

i have put an excel radiatior in now and i will put more pics up later

hey

 

looks like it should be nice, should go hard

 

how did the excel radiator fit was there much chopping envolved.

 

also nice job on the extractors.

I had to cut on both sides of where the existing radiator was.

I wanted to make the radiator as high as possible so the engine wont get an airlock.

 

heres another picture of the completed extractors

 

I have now ordered fuel pumps, a T3 manifold for ITB's, Vacum tank, ect.

I have now received my fuel pumps and my stuff from America.

 

I have now ran 5/16 steel fuel lines under the car.

 

Here are some pictures

I have brought and installed a Haltech PS1000.

 

the car is now running but needs a tune.

 

Here are some pics

 

i have a video of it running for the first time, but i can post it up.

Hey mate.

 

where did you get your steel fuel line? was it expensive?

Hey mate.

 

where did you get your steel fuel line? was it expensive?

 

I got the fuel line from Repco at Noarlunga. for a 7.5m roll it was about 70 bucks (thats 5/16 in size)

 

here is a link to the video of it running

 

cheers jarrod

Hey mate.

You'd want to run atleast 3/8 for your 308 mate. 8/ An engine that size I would probably run 1/2 inch!

Well where they have 5/16 its fair to say they'd have 3/8 aswel. Just seeing where people source their steel line from.
