and i said I wasn't gonna port the heads. Did combustion chambers today. Blended the chamber into the 50 degree exhaust valve job and the 45 intake. 5.7 head. Did a stock size valve on both sides. Had Ferrea make a custom exhaust valve with a nice tulip. More pics to come!

stock rear end (10 bolt) with axles and a spool. Need to upgrade to a posi though

The wheels barely fit. I need to use a small spacer or do the frame. No where near the fender, but that might change if I do the spacer.

The car is away getting turbo's mounted, intercooler done and fuel system.

I did not make it. Gary Betsy's Performance Restorations made it to the car. I don't think they would be into doing it mailorder, but surely they would take something like that on with the car.

i texted him the question. There was someone else on this thread that wanted one too.

It does make getting the nose off easier, and in one piece. but it is still a gigantic pain in the ***.

Dropped the car off at 16W Fabworks to get the turbo's mounted and piping done. They had to make a flange in their in house CNC for the t4 to 3" so it can neck down to the 2.5 inch collector.

More pics to come, they are doing more today!!!!
