Gonna try to make it fit with what I have first. I bought a used foxbody 2.5" H-pipe that I'm going to cut pieces off of to get started.

Brakes and steering also came in this week. Wilwood brake a clutch pedals with 3 master cylinders. For the steering I got a 36 spline 3/4" u-joint 3/4"x48" solid shaft quick release and a steering wheel. Everything came from speedway motorsports.

Got the engine mount cross member done. Probably not pulling the motor back out so I had to go ahead and put some paint on it.

Looks like the slave, driveshaft and exhaust are going to be close.

Run your exhaust outside the frame..... Its ALOT easier.
 
Don't run it outside, looks bad and easily damaged.
 
Flip the manifolds around and run them forward to a turbo. :D
 
I've got one that would work great for you, just need to rebuild it. Its a garret originally for a 92-94.5 7.3l IDI motors....

Rear 5000lb winch.It only weighs 33lb and there has been a few times I could have used one to pull the ass end around or back on the trail.

Looks great. I really like your motor mount,t-case torque mounts. VERY clean and well thought out. Only thing I've really noticed is it looks like your tires are going to EAT those radius arms.
 
Looks good so far Gregg, keep it up...

Thanks. And the tires don't look like they are going to rub. Maybe they will on the trail in some situations.

Flexed it out with a jack. I have too much air in the shocks but they handle the weight pretty good.
