I would like to see his engine bay and get some specs (if he doesn't mine). I would like to know how much clearance their is between the bigger D2 and the strut tower. I am think about using a D3 and I am afraid I will have to notch the strut tower alot. I have seen D1's, but not anything larger on a 3rg Gen.
Thanks

I was told everything is custom after the D1 head unit,no bigger will fit in that area,the D1 is about 1/2 to 3/4 away from the inner strut tower.Custom = big dollars.

I was going to try and run the ATI bracket for a SBC(CARB) and just notch the strut tower for clearance. Then after I notch it, then brace it with the roll cage struts. what do you think? I would love to see some pics of that D3 3rdGen or Chris Weavers D2.

yup thats me Guido forgot to mention this car was on 10" tires

made 2 passes.....BOTH letting off

9.47 @ 114mph...yeah thats 114mph

other was 8.96 @ 140mph....wow letting off again

---He had a D3 series housing. The strut tower wasn't dented.....the very front of the wheelwell was and it wasn't all that much. So if this guy can do it with a full roll cage AND T-TOPS with a some notching in the wheelwell....you can live with it

and NO

i didn't get any pics sorry

Thanks alot for the info. That makes me feel alot better. I was afraid I would have to cut the strut tower(witch I didn't want to do). I can live with it being modified by a hammer. lol Do you know what kind of motor the D3 was on? Do you know any more about it.

Thanks guys

I forgot to ask, did he have a ATI bracket or did it look like a custom one? Did you catch his name or email address?

Thanks again

it was on a small block chevy

i'm assuming it was combo job of ATI bracket and some custom bracing/bracketry by ASSC in lake bluff, IL since they built a lot of the car.

they do custom bracing/bracketry on ALL kits D-1 and above

here were some things it had that i noticed:
-huge freakn' water-to-air intercooler where the heater box used to be and came out right next to the distributor from inside the dash
-Accel pro ram intake
-90mm ford throttle body
-precision elbow
-hooker long tubes
-had a water box and fuel cell in the cargo hatch area

....so basically this car was BUILT
