This is the 8.8 Ford with 3.27 ring and pinion, as well as, Giken clutch limited slip.

 

The frame is cut and the angle bracing is welded in. The air cleaner box is completed.

 

Making some metal "Tangrams" for the extra support on the front diff mounts.

I tacked two on the back of each side and welded them together.

 

Great pics! What are your goals for the build?

 

My goal is to get my daily driver back on the road. The engine builder says it should be close to 400 whp. It has been a huge project. I'd like to finish before spring.

 

Adding Aerocatch latches: The pin already installed. Putting in the pilot hole for the small hole.

Underneath view.

Chassis punching the small hole.

Completing the small hole.

Lining up the big hole.

This will be a hole saw cut because I don't have a chassis punch the right size.

Making the cut.


Connecting the dots for the complete shape to accept the Aerocatch latch.

Trial fit the latch from underneath to start drilling the retaining ring mounting holes.


These are the flush fit versions. The retaining ring goes under the hood. I like the look, because there is less less footprint on top of the hood.

 

 

Lining up the MSM fans with the new radiator.

Making cuts to accept the hoses.


Making top mounts with MSM rubber isolators.





These will be welded later to accept the MSM mounting braces.

 

Ha, neat bike hub mounts!
