http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/gsracer/VH%20POWER/IMG_5322.jpg

Due to a gross miss calculation on my part, i put one of the primaries on the pass header thru the starter and that kind of side tracked me for a while. I cut it off and im just gonna re route it.

Good news is the mazworx tranny to chassis mount for the sr20 kit is a direct bolt on in my application which means that the drive shaft for the vg trans with sr20 will bolt on too, makes this ten time easier

that clearance looks tight.. is it gonna be enough?

Yes the clearance will be fine

Clutch lines, slave, etc are in clutch engages perfect, starter is on motor turns over but doesnt fire yet, still need a couple more parts should have by tommorow.
Heres the booster clearance, although in the picture it looks tight , you can stick your whole hand in between the booster and the valve cover.

OMG...OMg..OMG!
