Are you sure those boots clear the KB log? I tried the OEM 90* GTO wires on mine and a couple of the boots hit the log. I've since switched back to MSD wires for the bendable boot.

My old taylor wires cleared the kb log just fine. My stock gto wire cleared fine too. These new shortened one should be about the same if not better.

Damn Corey that's pretty ****** cool man , you did one hell of a job on those wires , seriously , they look awesome .

So are you happy with the quality if the thundervolt wires ? They look pretty damn well made with thick boots from your pics .

Plus it's nice to have a mock up engine isn't it

Yep i like these thundervolt wires. They seems well made and it was kinda a
Shame i had to cut up new wires.

Having the mockup engine is great. It allowed me to really take my time and do things right and make it look good.

Picture ***** time. The light at the end of the tunnel is approaching. I still gotta figure out the turbo oil feed line routing and run the FPR return line.
Then i need to reinstall the power steering pulley and figure out the belt length. Then i think the top of the motor will be done

I dont think that rear fitting on top will clear the cowl.

I have had that same fear. Luckily if i swap the hoses around it gives me more clearance. Hopefully one of the two options will work. If not i will try something else. The big unknown us id the tranny dipstick will hit anything. Time will tell


Hoses flipped

How is the feed being routed? Why would you run the inlet up on top of the manifold like that instead of pointing it down towards the bellhousing?

Because my fuel lines are run down the outside frame rail on the passenger side. They come up under the hood in the back corner in the passenger side.
