Someone probably has. And from what I've seen on show cars with tucked wiring..... 50/50 chance it even ran when they were done. Totally stupid. Cars like that don't get driven. They get rolled off a trailer and rolled back on. Because driving them with the fuse box in the wheel well wrapped in 3 rolls of duct tape and with the wipers, door handles, and that ugly firewall "shaved" they aren't practical and are unreliable $hit heaps. GD

And yeah, I was able to do this as well with the EJ25. Juuuust enough room to slide the radiator in, and then install the fans. Didn't have to notch the frame so that's a plus!

I see now what you're talking about with that PS pump bolt, I could have easily fit another full 11" fan in there after flattening it out... oh well. I think the 9"/11" combo will keep it cool enough. I got my harness tied in to the car this weekend and put the motor back in. Plugged it all up and put it in test mode and all the relays worked (straight blade SPAL fans are LOUD!). I don't have my alternator wired up yet or the lower radiator hose finished, but I decided to try to crank it just to see if everything was working. After fixing a bad ground at my fuel pump that made me scratch my head for awhile, it turned over and ran for a bit... I don't have any of the sensors plugged in yet so it ran rough, I just wanted to see if it was getting fuel and spark and all that so I'll call it a success. So I'm on the right track... hopefully I can get the interior wiring all cleaned up this week and then I have a few random things to finish (return power steering line, lower radiator hose, AC lines, tap a new hole for O2 sensors) and take it for a spin! Then once I get it running and back on the road I'll tackle some body work and do my quad DL headlight swap sometime this fall. Progress...

With the old school seats it was easiest to swap material onto your old drivers seat. Cut one hole for the handle and you’ll have one hole exposed but nobody can see it.
