Man I don't ever wanna hear anyone talk about truck intakes being too big anymore. I can't believe you got it to fit under there!

Thanks! Surprisingly, the only thing that collides is the alternator.

Just a little progress.

Got the merger pipe fabbed up, still a bunch to do but I'm excited to see some progress.

Turbo build is on the backburner. Just moved to FL so that took priority. Been DD'ing it for the past few months, so that's been pretty nice.

Fuel lines are braided from the block to the tank. Stock in tank pump. Need to throw a 225 in tank and some new injectors so I can slap this cam in.

Super slick car, sir.

Quick observation of mine, if you don't object, is if a turbo is in the works, back burner or not, wouldn't it behoove you to get a bigger fuel pump now? A 225 isn't going to be enough when you put on the hairdryer.

No, you're right. I was going for something quick and easy just so I can run the cam. The turbo realistically probably won't go on for another year or so.

Eh, it might. I have truck accessories and the alternator is kissing the hood when it's closed. In regards to the headlight, you should have plenty of room. If you look at that turbo pic, there is probably a few feet of room on the drivers side.

If you're local to FL, feel free to come by and do some mock up.
