OK, here is where we are at. I need to incorporate a battery, fuel tank, fuel pump for my CIS, and ignition, some terminal blocks, the oil tank and a control panel. BTW, I found some old display racks at work, which I glommed. They sure were heavy duty, and had lots of steel in them. Wish we had turbos lying around like that!

For the equavalent of the rear mount bar, I fabbed up this bracket to bolt on. I can't just put a couple of vertical risers on the stand, because there is too much exhaust crap in the way. From the mount carrier to the back of the rear bumper on my SC is approximately 12", and the Flowmaster 44 I have on the turbo takes up about that much room. I left myself about 2-1/2" to spare. This bracket and the unfabbed braces will be bolt on, else I'll never get the engine in.





Battery tray for the Optima. This Optima is 15 years old, and still starts the car. Amazing.



The fuel tank I have is a bit too big to fit. I do have a 3 gallon tank from the blown up emergency generator which is 13" x 20" by about 5" at the deep end. It will fit nicely where the red milk crate is.



I have a brand new Ebay knock off Bosch fuel pump somewhere. I need to find an accumulator and fuel filter setup, which will get mounted by the red milk crate fuel tank.

The Sennecker oil tank is going over by the engine mounted oil cooler. I'll go with an AN-16 gravity feed to a rubber hose to replace the "S" line, and use some AN-12 for the scavenge outlet. I have so many oil coolers on my car that I go through AN-12 fittings like TicTacs. They are cheap if you buy used from the circle track guys on Ebay, just clean them out really good.



Here's the control panel. Wireless!



Anyone got any ideas, feel free to chime in. I can never learn enough from listening to you guys.

Here's some of the stuff that needs to fit on the stand:





Tony, it's almost golf season...
