The McDonalds Project.. by n0ftInc

Been making a little progress over the past couple days.

The full flow is buttoned up and ready for some lines:

Broke down and ended up getting a sending unit for my new tank..

Cleaned out the tank, and installed:

But now, where to put the gauges?

Figure this was the best spot, without hacking into the dash or anyplace else. It's a pretty readily available piece should I change my mind, and it doesn't interfere with the fresh-air vent. The fuel and boost are on backorder, but soon they'll be in.

That's about all for now.

UPDATES!

Completed the FPR..

Started on some bung placement..valve covers and oil return.

And fitted the tins..minus the ones that still aren't here. 36hp Doghouse for $20..can't beat that. Thanks Buggy Builders.

Once they show up, I'll cut them to fit around the turbo header and then everything goes off to powdercoat.

Was able to get some things done today. Now that I have all the gauges in, I was able to wire them up and get that done. I actually cut a hole and ran the wires/hose in between the windows..not much room, but it fits.

Got some things back from powdercoat..starting to look like a motor again..sorta.

Other then that, got the fuel pump, pressure regulator, and fuel tank all mounted. Still lots to do!

Still waiting on a few bits to arrive to finalize the motor, but it's pretty much there. Got started on the wiring for the MJ/EDIS. Pucked up some material and this is what I came up with:

Some test fitting..going to be nice and hidden behind the shroud:

..and onto wiring:

Hopefully I can get it all done and ready for a nice and easy plug-n-play situation when it's time to put the motor in.

Pulley's home..it got the sunk treatment tonight and is ready for some bling-blang.





Thanks again Paulie & Sir Lans-a-lot!
