i actually have a power rack for it but there is no room for a pump any where. being turbo in such a tight space there isnt room for any pump that gm makes and even if they did i'm out of money so it doesnt matter. my car i drive now isnt power steering so I'm not worried about it being power on my race car

rear brake lines finished


gas pedal mounted in its new location since the tunnel is so much larger than factor it would not fit where it was.


trans cooler mounted. will be installing a fan off a gsxr on it later








put new non locking hood pins on it cause i was tired of messing with the others and didnt trust them to hold the hood at high speeds


was finally able to finish and paint the new core support since the hood pins are done


trans is almost done. i have completely assembled except for valve body. i am missing my old valve body and it had my governor lines and valves in it so im stuck at the moment. i have to go to a salvage yard and get another, must have lost it in the move
