2110, FK8, 48 IDF's & hand ported DRD L5's. 170hp in a baywindow is fun 
Not 100% happy with the wiring. But I'll tidy that up soon. |

I'll play.
I like a clean engine bay. No dizzy, fuel pump, coil or spark plug wires visible. All plug wires from coil packs, steel braided fuel lines and entire EFI wiring harness routed behind the motor. |

No secret I painted the engine bay in a Hot Rod flatz, tins are powder coated in silver vein hammer tone and a little OCD, I obsess in anything I do to look orderly and simple. |

Can't believe that AC compressor fits with the rain tray.

Glenn, I had to cut the mount down to lower the compressor for more clearance.

Does it run hot? Verts are notorious for running hot wit hthe top down.

No, not at all, and we live in Texas. I did a number of things to increase cooling. Don't need to hijack another thread by explaining.

Did you notice the air cleaners? Custom made in his garage/fab shop.
I asked about those and he provided the specs for the air cleaner build.
The fabrication very labor intensive, But came out nicely.
This guy is a genius, when it comes to stuffing things into a ACVW engine compartment.
Enjoy the ride.
