The OFFICIAL 24v Engine Bay Thread

[LINUS]

Yeah, it's far from finished. I expect I'll wire it & use it.

I left all the amenties, I'm a fat boy who likes his A/C, and if I want to just set the cruise & roll, I'll have that hooked up too.

In these pics you can tell I'm not even running yet since my HFM isn't plugged in either. I think the O2 wire is dangling too.

i love what the 318 radiator does for the engine bay.

Killer looking swaps guys. Linus i love that you didnt skimp on the coolant res or the washer tank. The new plastic really make it look fresh.

You really can't tell, but the bay is even resprayed in DS in anticipation of a respray on the body as well. I shaved all the brackets I wasn't using too. The only thing I masked off to save was VIN tags & my DS paint code sticker. Body wiring harness got completely rewrapped too. No cosmoline to be found in my car.

I'm a little obsessive compulsive.

I need to hook up my cruise... that's the last thing that doesn't work now. Except the brake pad wear sensors.

Word. I'm hoping to get my motor in within the next couple days assuming the rest of my parts come in.

same here. very clean, i love it.

I hooked up my cruise and it isnt working. i wonder if i just need to tighten up the tension

[Van Westervelt]

I didnt space mine out at all. However I did reinforce my subrame and set the mounts to where they wont be under stress once seated.

I went with new coolant overflow and washer tank too. VERY drastic improvement. Worth the $.
