Follow up to S-engine conversion
So, there was debate and some questioned running the 3.0 S-engine (with S crank pulley) with the 2.5 Milano flywheel. This was Larry Jr.'s recommendation and it seems he was spot on. I have observed no unusual vibration. He basically suggested to:
1. Run Milano 3.0 crank pulley with Milano 3.0 flywheel, or
2. Run S crank pulley with Milano 2.5 flywheel.
Since I wanted to run the S crank pulley (due to running Motronic - needs crank angle sensor and 60-2 ring gear...) and had all the 2.5 pieces, option 2 was an easy choice. As it turned out, it didn't cause any imbalance issues - at least nothing I can notice.

I'm putting in my 2nd Bosch Indy fuel pump (supports 700 HP  ) and 2nd fuel filter. My cell has dual pick-up and I need to put in the 2nd pump and filter - I'm using the stock Milano mounting brackets for my custom fuel pump and filter.

Jes,
I have a set of Verde wheel wells and skirts I wouldn't mind getting rid of. I have the spoiler too - but I think I am going to hang onto that. PM me if you are interested in those bits.

PM'ed you.
I spent some time cleaning up Roxanne after last weekends event, and I started to make some changes.
In the mad dash to get Roxanne ready for last weekend, I did not have time to do the "cold" intake. This weekend I redid it and in the process replaced the two headlight replacements with more solid solutions. I bent some pieces in Aluminum and mounted the "funnel" on the back of the passenger side piece. I did not (yet?) put one behind the driver's side. Should I? Right now it is asymmetric... Not sure... Opinions? Originally, I did have one on the driver's side, cooling the ABS pump.

So, been doing some maintenance to Roxanne this weekend (although next event is some time away).
I also re-located the fuel filler from the stock location so that I don't have to jack up the right rear when re-fueling  I was planning on putting it on the C-pillar as shown in the last pic, but there is 3 layers of sheet metal with some welded reinforcement too close to allow the fuel filler to fit through, and I did not feel like weakening the area. So, it went in an aluminum bracket mounted in the trunk.
I plan to mount the 2nd fuel pump next to eliminate the fuel starvation out of turns with 2/3 tank left

Thanks.
Another big advantage of this location is the free support for the 5 gallon fuel jug when refueling. Trust me it gets heavy holding it. Now the trunk opening offers a perfect rest 
Oh, and I'm pretty much set on the paint scheme and some other exterior cosmetic details - should get done in the next 2-3 months or so
