Relocated the brake lines off the firewall and under the motor and to the left side of the car. Also decided to run my fuel line up the drivers side instead of the passenger side. Things were just too tight by the exhaust.

My 9" JRW'S came in after a long wait. Looking good.

Nearing the end now. Finally added fluids to it and the gas is really stinking up the garage so i let the old charcoal canister hang. A functional Evap system is on the to-do list.

This is the metric to NPT adapter fitting I used.

This is the left side / Front corner of the block where i hooked up the accusump. This is immediately after the oil pump. This was a great opportunity to verify my oil pressure sensor was functional before starting the car.

A buddy hooked me up with his accusump so I could prime my motor.

In case someone wants to build one of these. I found it pretty handy. I supported my motor with it while i replaced my pan with the V8R one.

I made this engine support Gantry to help with a buddies car. This one has a stock LS1 with a 4l60.

This one shows the other end of the tubing. Was still waiting on the correct 90 degree -10 AN fittings at this point.

Things get tight by the PS rack so I bent some hard lines to snake through there. This is the left side of the oil pan.

Finally got around to finishing my exhaust. Only had the tips to weld on last time.

I don't think I posted this picture yet, this is the trans crossmember, don't look too close at it, I welded that exhaust hanger part and forgot to turn the gas on, what a mess. I'm pretty happy with the fitment and function of this but I cant wait to go back and polish the design.

And here we are back in the center of the boot. I'll figure out the shifter handle when I get the console in the car.

Cool, another opportunity for a fabrication project!

This one shows the position of the transmission. My motor and trans are both centered between the frame rails. The shifter is offset to the drives side of the transmission. This put it about 5/8 of an inch left of center. Its also about 5/8" back from center.

This picture is intended to show how low my motor sits in the chassis below the frame rails, its about 6 1/8" to the bottom of the crank pulley. I've got those 1/4" spacer plates to move the motor back, so the motor sits .18" higher than the normal monster miata stuff... of course I've also got my own custom trans mount tucking the transmission as high up as it will go so who knows...

With lower control arms horizontal at ride height-ish (it hasn't been on the ground yet with these shocks to check) I've got space to for the dampener and alternator. Using thick spacers that came with the supermiata endlinks, both endlinks are within 1 degree of vertical in both axes.

Here is checking for interference to simulate a bunch of suspension droop.

Another view to show the offset part of the bar. I welded the mounts roughly 1/4" in front of the upper control arm bolt. I was a little low when I took this picture but the arms are horizontal.

This is how the geometry works out. With the mount roughly 3/8" in front of the upper control arm bolt. Horizontal arms, and vertical end links, perfect.
