Thanks man, the dash is made of mdf and fiberglass. Im not glassing the whole thing because im having it stitched in leather. I do need to update the dash build with some pics. Im designing a custom guage cluster that will be hidden behind the face of the dash which is a solid piece of black plexi. The guages, indicator lights, etc will only be visible when the truck is on.
As far as my mounts, I cant remember the specific brand. Ill have to look through my reciepts. They are poly mounts though, as well as the trans mount.
The kit, I guess youre referring to the turbo kit? I built it myself. Oh, and yes its a manual brake truck. Lucky me because I doubt the booster would fit lol.

I'm planning on mounting the intercoolers below the turbos but I'm waiting to mount them until I swap the truck water pump and pulleys out for the Camaro equivalents. I have to make sure the piping will fit up front. If it won't then they will be going in the fenders. I'm also picking up my new intake manifold and fuel rails this weekend so I can finally mock up the remainder of the piping.

Here's where I'm hoping to be able to fit the intercoolers. One on each side. Once I have the new drive belt system installed I will know for sure. Im pretty confident it will work out though. It's just lying there for now.

That's what I was thinking too. There's tons of room already so I'd be surprised if it didn't. It would cut out about 21/2 feet of piping per side over my previous design if it works out.

Nice, are they ebay finds as well? It's gonna be a bottleneck on the inlet side as close as it is to the fender isn't it, or is there a lot more room on that side than the pic's can justify? As always, great build man, I can't wait to get back home and move on with my S-10 drag truck! Great motivational thread, keep it up!!!

These are from frozen boost. They do sit close to the fender but I'm actually going to run the pipes through the fender so there are no bottlenecks.

Spent the better part of today up at Sarg's house while he tig welded my manifolds for me. Huge thanks for that! Got home and installed my new typhoon intake manifold, fuel rails and 85mm TB. Still waiting on my water pump to get here so I can fab the intercooler piping. Here are a few updated pics.

Got my water pump and harmonic dampener in finally. Just waiting on my fans to show up so that I can iron out the location of the intercoolers/piping. Im hoping that there will be enough room to run it like I want to.

Quick update! Been busy with work lately, haven't had much time to fool with the truck. Intercoolers are mounted and I'm about 80% done with the intercooler piping. Just waiting on my mini alternator to show up so I can button up the serpentine system and finish welding in the pipes. Pics to come shortly
