          I'll have almost no time to test/tune, glad you're moving forward nicely.

              • Do you have much fab work to do or has that been done and your just in the assembly stage? Looks nice!

                    Well I thought the fab work was done... till today haha. This bellhousing is for an Fbody (don't make a GTO specific one) so the starter doesn't fit, more grinding. The Turbos are low mounted, you guessed it, next to the bell and it is so tight I'm having to nip and tuck it everywhere, thought I was done when it was out of the car... nope drivers side turbo still hits. I hope tomorrow I get off easy, I could use a nice easy day just bolting stuff together (without a grinder).

                    • Tiny snails in, charge pipes and inlet pipes in, Intercooler in, p/s cooler on, engine accessories on, a/c condenser and lines test fit with the radiator. It was a productive day.

                      • Rocker bushings are done and started checking rocker swipe (didn't finish, long story). Trans. is under the car and hydraulics are somewhat bled. Radiator doesnt really fit with the intercooler, its real tight but after hours of persuasion its in and since I'm getting really pressed for time I have made the decision NOT to remove everything for -AN fittings, I'll just put new hoses on it for now.

                        • Pushrods ordered, clutch hydraulics are bled measured and done, trans is in, and driveshaft is in. Looks like I have a driveline angle issue that I will have to address as well.

                            • Went and picked up the oil return pump and a few fittings for mock up, started making a bracket and getting a list of materials together so I can finish it tomorrow. Also installed the oil feed lines on the turbos and ran them up top, gotta find a fitting for the valley cover for the oil feed port.
