i used the cobra earl thermostat housing with a dedenbear expansion tank.

push the drivers side out as far as i could and cut the top as you see in the exterior pic.

made a new skirt in fron of my terminal blocks, under my dash which will be changed later to a comp. dash

made my tranny tunnel top from 1/8" steel plate, the center pices being a removalble plate to access the mid-shifter, it will also be covered but with the plate material i can drill and tap anything on top. plus its heatshielded and stronger.

presently engine is back out doing footbox mods and heat shielding, also new hand made bottoms on the drivers and passenger side undercarriage to deter road noise added 1/8 al. plate to the forward footboxes,and rubber 1/2" conveyor belting under the seat area along with sound insulation sealed with urethene vulkem caulk.
