you and me both! I might have a bite or two on some of my parts though. Just nibbles at this point, but keeping my fingers crossed so I can go back to moving forward with my build after my two steps back.

Take a look at what Buddy has in store for him. Search for 1972 or 72 MGB GT on here. Crazy what we are going to have to go through to stuff a LS in that car. I am really hoping the MGC with its inline 6 has a little more room.

You 1st gen guys have so much room in the engine bay. I'm a little jealous. I'm doing twin midmount 67mm ballbearing turbos on my 5.3L 98 p/u

When you take out the a/c and don't have a front diff" to deal with sure frees up a lot of space. Looks good.

Its been a long time since i been on your thread. Too caught up in my rear mounted bullshit. I been thinking allot lately about possibly selling my setup and switching to twins up front for the winter. Which is why I'm on your thread now lol. Btw, Still think you should throw a full tub In

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Haven't updated in a while because there is just sooo much going on at once on the truck so theres a little bit of progress everywhere but nothing else completed. Still waiting on a few key parts to show up so I can get the final clearance issues worked out.

Here's where she stands at the moment

Thanks! Im running two bosch water pumps, two 9.5x13x3 heat exchangers (all i could fit in the limited space up front) and a custom 7 gallon ice/water tank that I had made to match my fuel cell.
