Thanks to @SorsCode for the reccomendation. We have a fuel system for the S-351. Its rated for 800 so we should be good

man... I dunno how long it took you to develop your spray hand but you're there. That black turned out amazing. It looks as good as that blue I rave about in your other thread.

I can't wait to see this level of finish on one of your current Fox projects

Went to my machine shop to CNC some more Saleen Brake brackets and ended up getting distracted with the S-351 intake I shouldnt be working on till the 94 Cobra is done.
But OCD and ADHD make a bad combination.
Some smoothing and porting today.

I’m not sure if I’m going to go with silver on the engine and Powdercoat this intake or polish it but regardless it needs to be smooth.

You got it. I’ve done about 30 sets now to allow use of these brake setups where rotors were unavailable and not made anymore.

I'm making a mental note of all this crazy you do

Next, you're going to tell me that you're about to extrude hone that intake in-house

I'm not trying to send your OCD into overdrive here, but those nuts don't match and one hub has black studs while the other has gold studs... this cannot stand.

He actually uses the Chuck Norris method, where he looks at the intake and demands it fixes it's self... then it's perfect.

I know man. Thats why they are there. I am pressing in 3 inch studs for a customer. All the same color so no worries

just getting more pieces ready and going thru the ones I tossed straight in the box when I tore down the car

One tank is going in the S-351, the other the 86 T-Top notch
