Ok, here are some more shots of the engine compartment.  Scroll down to see completed pics.

A front shot.  The valve covers will be painted yellow too.  I will install the intake upper plenum when I'm done with the items around the firewall.  Stock? radiator and overflow tank are installed.

A little better shot of the radiator.  I took my stock radiator and replaced the guts with a 4 core piece.  The stock top and sides were retained except for the spout.  It was replaced to match the size of the engine outlets.  A new bottom pan was built which relocated the new larger outlet to the pass side.

A view from the engine side of the radiator.  I used "Coolflex" radiator hoses and fittings for the plumbing.  An electric fan will be added later.

This shows the upper and lower radiator hoses.  I think there is ample room between the engine and radiator for a fan.

Another shot of the alternator location  The custom bracket bolts where the original lifting bracket was.  Kinda hangs out there, but I couldn't figure where else to put it.

This shows the steering shaft.  It is a 2 piece design that I "borrowed" from Mark Sedlack's Roadster.  Thanks again Mark.  You can also see the coated exhaust manifold under it.  Swain Technologies handled that job for me.  I'm using the dual brake cylinder from Dean at Datsun Parts.com.

This is taken looking forward.  It shows the fairly clean underside of the car.  Notice the extra capacity of the oil pan on the driver's side.  Steve Handy took the deep sump off the pan and added this to make up for the lost capacity.  I took the idea from a VG30 pan on a Maxima, which is transverse mounted but had the pod on the other side.

The shifter had to be moved up some.  You can see the old hole just aft of the shifter.  It doesn't seem to interfere with the center pedestal at all and is still easy to reach in a comfortable driving position.  The stick is rubber isolated and should help some with any vibrations. I modified the trim plate that goes against the center piece to match the hole.

Here are some pics of the upper intake.  Steve Handy, who also built the oil pan, did the mod on this piece.  The top and inside of the original restrictive intake were removed and smoothed out.  Then the new top was welded on.  I smoothed out the welds and polished the top.  I'll be using a larger throttle body with this intake.

Here are some shots of the nearly completed engine compartment.I have to clean up a few items and double check everything but it runs as it sits.
