"NICE BEAVER"
Good call, i was just gonna suggest that. it would look cleaner anyway with the bolts facing away out of sight.65myway said:Reenmachine,
Looking at the pics you posted of the fuel rails, it looks as if you may have them on backwards. It looks like you can flip the rail (put the current front opening on the rail toward the back of the intake). If you did this, the mounting brackets will be mounted on the inside of the rail and it looks like they may line up better with the mounting holes in the intake.
Doesn't work that way. C'mon guys, give me some credit!65myway said:Reenmachine,

Hi Reen,reenmachine said:I've been messing with the fuel system and electrical system mods to the DOHC engine. I'm converting it to a return-style fuel system and there is a bit of a fitment issue with the Aeromotive fuel rails (see pics). I can probably make it work by bending the mounting tabs but I'm going to talk to them tomorrow to see if I was shipped the wrong thing or something. Anybody use these, or any other aftermarket fuel rail on a DOHC that fit?
If you're talking about the front suspension, it's the Heidt's deluxe.BB1966 said:Hey Reen,is that your compays suspension kit?? If no who do you use? If so what does the tubular kit run?? I looked around the sites but I could not find it.
Hi RM,reenmachine said:Just a small bend to the brackets made it work perfectly. It was fairly clear from the beginning (if you had the stuff in front of you to look at) that this would work, it's just that I didn't expect to have a problem like this from Aeromotive. So, I went through the paces to make sure there wasn't something obvious I was missing first.
As far as the electronics go, I think I have a slam dunk. Remember that I said that because I'll probably regret it in the future!I'm not reusing a single wire from the factory harness. Yes, everything will still be mass-air, CA emissions legal, Ford-serviceable, EEC-V, etc. All of the stuff is on the way and that will obviously be the major project over the coming weeks. PATS supposedly won't be a problem.
SNIP...
That's about what it will end up being with this car as well, and that's pretty typical of a major project in my experience. It was at the paint shop longer than anticipated and I had a couple of other projects (for customers, test car, etc.) along the way.SN65 said:Hi RM,
Just curious, how long is it???
From start to finish I mean. When did you start and when will you finish. My project is going to be just about 1 year when complete.

I'll check that out. I used to have an '03 350Z that had a CF driveshaft, and they're not actually that much more expensive than a good aluminum one if I recall correctly.Route666 said:Suggestion - carbon fibre driveshaft.
