very nice swap. So the CX engine and trans mounts allowed everything to line up pretty well it seems?
I really dig this. The wrap is not my thing but I especially like the diffuser around the center exit exhaust. Cool project!
Any videos?
Very nice outcome. Excellent work!

So awesome!
very nice, how do you open the rear hatch? i wanted to remove my rear handle, but the plate would cover the button to open the hatch.
Super nice setup, im planning on a boosted L33 setup for my 3.0 coupe.
would like to know more about the MS setup with the gauges, my buddy is getting his LS powered mustang going with a MS3-pro
Nice looking Coupe, I love the exhaust and the rear tire size. It looks like the car means business. How is the cooling, any issues?

In your description you say you have a reinforced rear end. Do you mean the body / crossmember? If so how or which kit? Also which front strut tower brace do you have?
Thanks.
When the weather gets warm again, I'll put together a video if the car.
The factory gauges are a little tricky to get working. Had to program the tach to think it was a 4 cylinder to read correctly.
Had some initial cooling issues. We were doing some tuning on Thursday and the temp was running at 196.
Rear subframe reinforcement. KC Autosport did their own reinforcement, no kit. I'll see if I can find some pictures. Took the strut brace off, it was hitting the hood. Looking for other options.
The plate covers the button and is on a hinged bracket. You can pull the plate down to access the key hole, like when you put gas in your 1972 Chevelle, or push on the plate and it pops the hatch. A 3/4 picture would explain it better.
Any project pictures of the taking headliner or dash panels off?
Or of any other alcantara works?

How is that video coming along?

I'm late to this, but the E-rod swap is only CARB legal on pre-OBD2 vehicles. They don't really make that distinction easy to find, but I poked around a while thinking of the same thing only to eventually find that very important detail. The good news is you could pull from a 2000 or newer vehicle and do the swap that way.
Interesting, i think the biggest challenge is fitting cats, and i hear that if you have to go to the referee, it is a major hassle.

Oh God yes. There's some serious savagery in this thread.
can you please let me know how i can get that plate? but the thought of drilling holes to fit that makes me cringe

The alcantra really looks good. Did you mention where you orderd it from? I was thinking about doing CF covering on most of my interior (my interior is in rough shape) but some alcantra could be a nice contrast with the CF.
Those wheels look good. They make the rear brakes look so small haha. Time for a Porshe Brake upgrade??? (J/K). Car looks great and I love the swap.
Did you find any info for doing the wiring or did you just use wire diagrams and dig in? I have LS swapped 3 FD RX-7s but its been done so many times that the wiring info is super easy to find online. I am planning on swapping my roadster in a year or so (main reason I bought the car)
I have been looking for a set of 513M wheels to test fit with beefy spacers in the rear
