Hi Greg

Yes this is the Wilwood conversion that we are working on for the 700 series. The 12.19" rotors fit behind Hydras (see attached picture). We are making some very minor improvements to the caliper brackets and hope to have them available later this fall.

The intake was not really hard, just took some time and lots of planning. The hood is aluminum with a modified 1979 Mustang Indy Pace car cowl induction. The airbox is actually the Carbon Fiber lid from a NASCAR (got to love EBay)
