Can't wait to see how well that humongous wide thing fits in there.

It fits. Brake booster rubs so will need to swap for a smaller unit. Evap housing will need to be heavily modded. Wiper cowl will need to be chopped off on the bottom. No idea what I am doing for headers. Probably gonna try Mustang long tubes.

tight fits require good massaging.

I haven't posted any updates in a while but the car is almost done. It runs and drives and we are currently working on the tune.

HA! Speaking of which, any suggestions how I can make wipers work? Do they make micro windshield wiper motors or am I stuck using Rain X? lolOriginally posted by Grand Marquis GT View PostComment

I was thinking the exact same thing while I was posting that.Originally posted by Mr Bean View Post
What about something like this? I know some people online talk about actually running a wiper motor under the dash, of all places...

Wipers aside (as I have nothing useful to suggest there), what did you do with the EVAP core plenum? Any close-up pictures?The ones who accomplish true greatness, are the foolish who keep pressing onward.

I had fun chopping the evap housing and the bottom of the wiper housing. The booster didn't get in my way though. Tight but doesn't hit!

I ended up cutting and plastic welding it. Then followed with some fiberglass filler and topped off with VHT wrinkle paint.Originally posted by His Royal Ghostliness View Post

Wow!!! I will go back and reread this, but did you put different cams in the Navi engine or is it stock? Otherwise, your project is making me want to do that to my MGM. LOL
