Well got the block back today from the machine shop today. Just waiting on the rotating assembly to get balanced and we will be able to get the motor together and hopefully get the car tore down. I also found a few pieces of 5" exhaust pipe for the exhaust out the bumper!!!

Where did you get these at? I think the longer piece will work on my setup.
Thanks

I got it from a local shop here in Colorado called On-Track Performance. I'm pretty sure they had one or two more laying on the shelf if you call them. Think I got it for $50 a piece.

Got a little bored at work today and borrowed a customers T/A thats currently under the knife for a new AES 399 as well as putting the D1SC back on thats currently on it. I set my turbo in there to pick placement. I would like to run the hotside right up the center of the motor in front of the harmonic balancer and hang the turbo off towards the passenger side. In this picture it looks like it would also be about the right hight in the engine bay but maybe a little higher. There is room. What do you guys think?

Got the motor finally assembled this week. Painted it the Factory blue color of my car and all my accents will be in silver. Just waiting on my trunion upgrade for my rockers and then my intake and valve covers from the powder coater which I should also have this week. Also got my Midwest Chassis torque arm in and a 5"x9" race muffler for my exhaust. Were moving right along. Now just waiting on room to get my car in the shop and get this thing done.

Been working hard over the last few weeks. Got the wiring back on the car, tranny in, fuel system ran, torque arm in(which needs some trimming) , did a wire tuck on the passenger side, relocated the cruise control, put the intake on and ordered a Midwest Chassis front bumper support. Been a lot of work but slowly getting there.
