I had to do this on my setup (probably could have avoided it if I mounted the turbo differently), just wondering if you will too.
I Believe that was the project focus that was used in the "Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords" Magazine. If so- good god that's taking it back a few years. I don't think they ever properly finished that car.
