Now for some newbie questions. Do you drive it on the street a lot? What fuel? Surprised it's not intercooled in any way. Any reason why?

And I need to look at the first page, what turbo are you running?
thanks, and yes i drive it as much as i can. low boost is pump 93oct. high boost get some 110 or 116. i droped the intercooler for a few reasons and theroys. i use methonal as my cooling source

the old engine was a stock crank 365ci gen 3 iron block turns out there was a head mix up when the engine was built and it was only a 8.2 compression engine

update.
motor is pretty much together. waiting on some new shorter push rods. painted some things to make it all look better, new oil pump, timing set, some morel link bar lifters, heads milled, and new valve springs. and i get to use my new moroso oil pan and cv products oil filter housing. should run pretty well.

Well luck is not on my side. Timing chain broke. Not even 10 minutes into the 1st drive. Not sure what caused the chain to break, but I'll get around to it. = /
