Well, the piping is all done now. The radiator core should be here Monday, then....time for some break in miles
The fenders will be rolled/pulled as soon as the car is driveable.

Excellent work sir! Welcome to the Lexus turbo LSx family!
You don't know how bad I wish I had built an IS instead of an SC. 2 kids car seats are a PITA to get in the SC.

I have not added it up, and I dont plan to lol
Thanks Matt and thanks for the mounts again. We'll see how these work this year, then I plan on a set of custom wheels later on
Jons almost done fabbing up the radiator. All thats left after that is fluids and hoses.

This makes me want to Turbo my swap which didnt even make it to my car yet. what truck headers would you use if i were to use factory headers. I was told its popular to use escalade headers and flip them up so they face forward and start routing the turbo. im swapping a LS1 in a 86' 635CSI. my main issue will be clearance with the steering box...im trying to as little fabrication as possible and would rather use some type of hugger header if i dont do the turbo so i would clear the Steering box.
any help would be greatly appreciated
