Sweetness!!!  I think I'm eventually going with a set of leather Sparcos to replace my worn, cloth racing seats in my soon-to-be summer driver.

Thanks guys, the Sparco's definitely aren't the cheapest aftermarket seat option available... 

The Modena is a high quality well made seat, unlike the overpriced yard furniture my wife just HAD to have. :)

They aren't too overkill either in the "tuner look" department either.  A lot of "racing" seats have huge shoulder bolsters and softball size harness holes, etc.  These are nice and trim with a similar side profile as the stock Challenger seats. 

More updates soon :)

Couple more of the turbos with the ADE flanges.





Working on the headers.  Cone Engineering's header alignment tools come in handy-

Bob from Automotive Design Engineering put his digitizing equipment to work.  The waterneck protrudes up above the intake flanges on the heads, and the design of the dual throttle body intake is very low.  Bob will input these points into the 3D drawing to check for clearance issues, etc.

Oil pan in the works also

Couple more header "in process" pics.

It's hard to tell from the pictures but are the pipes that close to to the valve cover? Just wondering
70 Cuda, 7.0L Gen-III Hemi, Viper T56 w/9310 gearset, 3.91's, Megasquirt MS3x v3.57, Innovate wideband, Firm Feel upper arms, torsion bars, springs and strut rods, QA1 DA shocks. I did everything on this car except the fancy paint stuff and I drive it...and I can't seem to stop messing with it....

There is an inch of clearance at the bottom of the valve cover (widest point of the block), but the space limitations are tight for sure.

The stock valve covers will be replaced by a set of aluminum covers that are in the works.  Additional provisions will be made to help with heat as well (functional R/T hood scoops, etc).
