This is my 98 formula. Going with a stock long block '04 6.0 with a 228/228 @.588 on a 116+3 cam, Master Power 76 Turbo, Tial 44 mm wastegate/Tial 50mm BOV, and custom Truck Manifold hotside. I'm going to update with photos As they come. As of now I have the Radiator core support notched, and boxed for a Lt1 Fbody Be cool radiator. It's going to be a pic heavy thread, and I'll gladly answer any questions you guys have.

The fuel system is Going to be a Walbro 340 intank with Siemens 60lb injectors. Shooting for 500 whp with room to grow. I plan on using factory fans of they'll fit, and relocating the battery to the trunk to free up some engine bay space. I also plan on removing the ac part is of the heater box, and retaining heat.

So it's been a while but I have been making progress. Painted the 6.0 and put all of the Fbody accessories on it. I plan on swinging the engine in in the coming week.

I find that even the small victories are key to moving forward. I haven't got to work on my car during the winter, but a couple hours completely changed my outlook.

So I finished the hot side up to the turbo today. V banded the truck manifolds. And put the o2/wastegate flanges on. 2.5" to a 3" merge to the t4 flange. Used 1.75' pipe for the wastegate.

Put the turbo where the battery sat. The cold side is going to easily shoot through the fender / bumper and am going to mount a FMIC . Haven't decided on where the cold side outlet is going to run.

Used DEI titanium heat wrap on the stainless hotside, and 100' seems to be about how much I'm going to need. It's very easy stuff to deal with. Going to run a 3" downpipe under the motor mount and I may even run a cat converter.

This isn't a terribly difficult thing to do. If you can weld it's totally attainable for the average dude

Started Cold side fabrication. Cut out the bumper to start a mount for the intercooler. Going to use 2.5" stainless bends for the cold side because I have some lying around.

Started Cold side fabrication, and began my down pipe. My buddy got a tig and it was my first outing really with it. I'm happy so far. Not pretty but it'll work.

Recently purchased a Tial 50mm waste gate. Finished 99 percent of cold side fabrication, and started messing with the down pipe. I decided to space the front swaybar down to ease fabrication of the down pipe.
