chevrolet v8 in Esprit

Im trying to upload the pics again of frame mods.  Basically the inner part front cross bar that meets the backbone was moved forward 1 and 1/2 inches to make more room for belt pulley.. New boxed in areas were added to the outer corners of this bar.The old engine mount areas were boxed in.Gussets were added to most corners. An outer bar was added to replace the removal of the bar that connects diagonally from engine mount area to the forward cross bar that was modified.

Yes it fit nicely with room to spare. I like your Vids Rob, I have a few on youtube(can be found by user name "dionr05"),but Im a terrible narrator,

They do look like marine headers ??

Headers are from cxracing( can be found on ebay). They are made for twin turbos. Maybe someday if I ever change the gearbox to something that can handle it. Then I can put the Turbo Esprit decals on.
