I am going to try out this PATC converter. My friend has a low 10 second turbo silverado and loves his converter. Made me give them a shot. I have only seen and used one patc before in a cam only setup. Seemed nice. I hope it works great for me!
Fuel Injector Development 160 lbers. I have used and sold quite a few of these injectors. I really like them. If anyone is ever in the market let me know. I get these for a great price.
Made a little sunday progress. Installed the TRZ anti roll/panhard setup. Took a lot longer then I expected but I got the front end all mounted. It is not finalized obviously but looks good. Only 7lbs of cromoly! I am stoked.
My buddy finished the transmission last night. Pretty stoked! Just waiting on getting the block back from the damn machine shop so I can slam the motor together and get it in the car for mock up.
Ended up ordering the Pro Flo fuel rails even though they are 3/8". I was going to try and make the 1/2" holley rails fit but I didnt want to end up having a fuel leak and run the rails drilling holes into them.
Tires came today. Shiiit, Im getting pretty close to slamming this thing together.
Currie enterprises 9" tq arm adapter. I should have just built one of these. For whatever reason this thing didnt fit very good and I had to trim it with a plasma cutter. It is definitely heavy duty though.
Sorry if i missed it but did you make that bumper support bar? Or if you bought it where from? my Currie 9" torque arm adapter needed some work to fit right also.
definetly liking this build. my goal is 1000hp car but i dont think i can get there with the 418 I currently have it is aluminum and setup for NA. only put a 150 shot on it for about 700whp

Yes I built the bumper support. I still have a little more work to do to the front end between mounting the intercooler and radiator but it is a good foundation. I just purchased 24 feet(6 foot sections) of Moly tubing off from ebay for 130 dollars. It only took one tube of the 4 to do the front. So I am going to build subframe connectors also. I built a really nice trans bracket tonight.
But yea I was pretty pissed about the Currie bracket actually. I was going to make one for as cheasy as the design is. But I wanted to focus the time spent on something more worth while. I had to cut and shave the center section to get it to fit. I have several hours into it. I wish I would have just built my own and saved 165 dollars.
Well I got the block back from the machine shop today. Bored to accommodate the 3.80 bore pistons and new cam bearings installed. after a long day at work and running around after, I did all of the ring end gaps and stuff. I will have the motor completely assembled tomorrow.
Got quite a bit done this weekend. Already racked up a lot of time into this car. Not nearly as far as I had hoped. Few little things I have made so far. The trans bracket came out pretty nice. My welds are getting better.Still working on my hand steadiness and starting and stopping.
Great build!! You happen to be in Ocala? I saw the same picture of the car on Craigslist and talked to about some parts you had for sale.
I'll be following your build.
