Here are some photos from the past 2 weeks...there are more, but I am busy here today and can only post a few...

Anyway, just some shots of the work being done. As you can see, we take the extra steps when it comes to wiring. No butt connectors here, only soldering! This ensures years of quality electrical connections, rain or shine.

Also added some pics of the intercooler that is being utilized in this build, as well as the stock rockers all lubed up and the new valve springs being installed

We also pinned his crank so no worries there with regards to the pully spinning on the snout of the crank. His exhaust is finished, just have to add an additional bung for the Wideband sensors we will be installing.

Few more things to button up in the engine bay, and she'll be ready to turn over. Waiting on a fuel pump to complete that system as well

Enjoy...

Thanks man...should be completed next week...just waiting on the pump. The pump we are using has not been released to the public yet, so getting it is a bit of a task

Everything else is done, just a few small things to button up...
