One of the other things I've noticed about these conversions is that most seem to just yank the engine out and put in the new one. I thought I'd clean that up a little so I removed the rubber gasket that surrounds the engine cooling tins. That left an unsightly track around the edge of the engine compartment. So I spent some time with a spotweld cutter and removed all of that. I also cut a few holes I can use to fill the channels with 3M structural foam.
I used the same structural foam in the front of the car. It's slow going but I'm trying to pay careful attention to detail at every step.
Here's the engine bay as it currently sits.

You'll notice I have Patrick Motorsports strut tower structural braces in place. These are the inner halves. They don't quite fit the way I like so I'm going to have to make some modifications to them.
