Default Moving Anitlock break system

The ABS is behind the drivers seat in the storage compartment on the 94 cooupe. There is a lot of room up under the headlights on the hood, and I want dual rockford t1's. can I move the ABS up there w/0 to much work/hassle/damage and have the breaks still work?

Not only no...but HELL no!!!...you would have to reroute ALL of the lines going up to the unite behind the seat

And then recalibrate the system for the addition of the extra lenths of tubing and not to mention recalibrating the electrical pulses coming and going into the box..

Well, I guess thats no then. Why the hell did they take up my storage box? There is perfectly good unused room in the front of the engine. Speaking of room, I have a 94, and it was a complete pain in the *** to change out those damn plugs. Is there a trick? It took us 6 hours. On my 350 v8 v in my silverado we knocked it out in 30 mins.

Maybe because that would be putting the heart of the ABS in a crumple zone.

if you had a minor fender bender, you could lose all ABS.

in my 92 it is in the compartment behind me.

the compartment is accessible - the ABS unit just takes up most of that space.

The harnesses alone would be impossible to reroute, you have ABS/ASR combined..............

Modules in the elements and crumple zone..................


Next project please................
