Finally got all the fuel components, I decided on -8 feed & -8 return. This way if I need to upgrade, I only need to replace the feed line.
Now it's time to install! IT'S TOO FRIGIN COLD TO WORK ON IT RIGHT NOW.....

I'm doing a similar build on an 89 coupe. Is that a upr k member? That's what I used and I hated the way the engine fit so tight to the firewall. I ended up redrilling the front two bolt holes on each side of the k member to be able to move it forward about 3/4 of an inch.Doesn't sound like much, but I gained firewall clearance and was then able to then bolt up the factory tranny cross member. I see you had to cut off the factory sway bar mount. What is your plan to fix the sway bar issue?

It is an UPR k-member and its agaisnt the fire wall. I hope it works out, we'll see. Didn't plan on installing one yet, really haven't seen anything I liked.

Amazing build. One of the cleanest I've seen. Motor looks sick as well. What are the plans for the wheels? Sorry if i missed it.

For the fuel tank are you using the cobra one to fit the fore hat and does the tank fit in the same as the coupe original?

I like the fuel line your using. I was told a couple years ago that its not safe and to go with stainess fuel line. Is this something new that just came out?

Thanks, very nice build

I wanted to go with a hard line but really couldn't find anything I liked. These Goodridge hoses are top of the line and I really don't see having a problem with them.
