My friends and I have been building this car for a buddy and its looking to good to not share. We started on this car a week ago and I want to share the process.
We're on a quest to try to make a 1000hp.
The owner of the car intended on bolting everything together and letting it rip. Well I couldn't let that happen.
I'm not here to advertise but merely show off what I do as a day job.
I ceramic coated,hydrodipped and painted every part we put on the car.
I hope you enjoy the progress as much as I do.

Mmr built 4.6 with all the goodies
Ported heads
Custom grind cams
Cg fab turbo kit
Precision 7675
Sullivan intake with hpp upper
Lpf Sbtb
Fore triple pump return
Fore fuel rails
Id1000s
Vmp5000
And other supporting mods

Picked this bad boy up from Mmr.

The goodies started poring in so we had a late night unboxing party.

Those valve covers looks killer. Nice work so far, is the car staying a 6 speed with a IRS?

The car will keep a t56 as long as it stays in one piece. As for the Irs has already been removed and a sra with 373s has been put in.

Mocked everything up and the damn alternator was the center piece on the engine. We decided to make our own bracket and run a smaller alternator. The belt is just mocked up to see how it was going to fit.

We then built a bracket to mount the fuel regular and got the intake assembled.

Some suggestions. Ditch that idler in the upper driver side spot. It looks like crap and the bolt is not centered on it since its not sitting on the cover right. Get the idler bracket for an 03-04 Cobra accessory belt where it bolts up to where the alternator would have been before you moved it.

Ditch those 3.73s.......

OP,

We made some more headway tonight. We got the cooling hoses together and fuel lines plumed. The turbos mounted and mocked up the engine bay panels. Thanks for the compliment. We have spent a lot of time detailing everything.

Very clean keep the pics coming. How does the ceramic on the bolts hold up when torqued down?

Progress has been slow but we're still making headway. Our direct bolt on cold side piping from hpp ended up not fitting at all so we had to make our own pipes. The harness had to be hacked up to route wires to there new locations. Some small stuff was finished up like rerouting power steering lines and building new brake lines to delete the abs. We built a crash bar to mount the intercooler and relocated oil filter. We're real close to our first startup.
