Default 90 FORMULA LS1/T56 swap (future single turbo)

So this is what is going on. When i turned 17 i bought a 89 formula drove the car for three years while plannin a build. Found out she was VERY VERY rusty and am no using her as a parts car for a shell i found for 100 bucks and it is a 90 formula so here is what is going down. My older bro killed himself a year ago and i was informed i am gettin bout 10k so i will be puttin it into this car. He is why i love cars,.... i wish he could see what i am doing he would love it. he was a turbo guy so that is why it is in the later on planning of this build so here we go

Ls1/t56 (single turbo in its near future)

stock bottom end (arp rod bolts)
317 castings ported
arp head bolts
CAMMED (unsure bout cam as of right now)
ls1 intake stock
ported throttle body
headers
intake

t56
exedy clutch

fourth gen rear end

Can't wait to see progress on the build... Sorry to hear about your brother though. But at least it's in memory of him.
