Default Making a little more progress

Well I finally got some progress on this thing, seems like it goes very slowly
Got my intake on, plug wires built and dressed in on custom brackets with Taylor seperators. These serpentine brackets aren't going to work so I have to get some from a camaro, anyone got a set?
started getting the electricals under control, But its coming

Thanks Rob. Its been a lot od work as you know. But I have been doing a little at a time here and there. I may need some help fitting the front clip when I get to that point, few more weeks. I have to find some comaro or C4 serpentine brackets and build the exhaust. Then the clip

I have a bunch of serpentine brackets left and I'm sure I have a few of the F-body style. Which side were you needing?

Looking pretty darn good to me. What is going in the passengers side upper bracket on your motor? AC or something that puts a positive pressure on the intake charge?

I've had several sets from both cars and trucks and I don't recall seeing a variance in the driver's side bracket. Just so you know, I set a stock hood on my car when I installed my serp and while it was hard to tell it looked like it cleared just fine.

Yea, I am glad I got them cheap. Looking at it I don't think there is any way the hood will go on. The serach continues
