as you can see, its just the beginning.

my friends shop has a zx3 they gutted, put a full tubular frame from firewall back(so its still street legal), with tubbed rear wheel wells and a 03 cobra motor(with 2 stages of nitrous) in it but the guy who they are building it has put it on the back burner for his other projects so its just been sitting.

Thats nuts! (but so cool)

Well its not over yet... the intake is higher than the heads as well as he can't keep everything in the valley. You have the alternator and a few other things.
One thing I can forsee being a problem is the brake booster (if he decides to go with vacuum boosted brakes), there will be VERY little room.
He could possibly solve that with with a Hydra-boost setup. I'd also stick some stock exhaust manifolds and see if the steering shaft can squeeze by them....

Completely wicked otherwise.
