Hi guys. Been really busy lately but I got a little work done on the Hot Rod. Here you can see that the starter now is in line with the flywheel.

The spacer between the starter and the flywheel fit nicely and after all the equipment on top goes on, it won't be noticeable.
Here I've placed the alternator and A/C compressor (I think), the fuel injectors (I'm guessing), and the intakes on top of the block to get a good idea of how much room I'm going to need for the engine compartment.

Here's a look at the gearbox end of the block. All you mechanics out there please correct me if I'm calling parts by the wrong names. As I've said, I'm not a mechanic, never have been and never will be. I used to be able to change the oil, spark plugs, and tires. Wouldn't try to do any of them on these new cars. Anyhow, I put the intakes on dry to see how much height I'll need to have.

Don't know what these boxes on top of the intakes are but that's where the directions say they go.

I believe the black box on top is the air inlet.

If you google a Ferrari Testarossa engine, you will see all of the piping and wiring that will go on the engine once I get it set up in the frame. I have started to clean up all the body parts too. That old glue that we used to use "back in the days" really ate into the plastic. I have a lot of filling and sanding to do.

Well, that's all for now. Any critiques or suggestions are gratefully accepted. Thanks for looking.
