Default Another ebay start up thread

Just a stock long block with some dual valve springs. ebay kit with 4in ebay intercooler tc78 dp dumped after the k member. I cheaped it out and got i cut the front upper and lower radiator support to get the stock radiator in there with the condensor. I put two 12in pushers in front and one 16in puller in back. then put some foam weatherstriping between the two to seal the flow of air. I got the bmr turbo k in there and also modified the dp that came with the kit to go under the steering knuckle instead of over. I'm running a a1000 sumped stock tank 60lb injectors using the stock feed as the return. i built this on a budget. I will hit the dyno soon.

Heres a start up vid.

Start up vid

note i'll fix the belt. I think its got too much slackin it.

It sounds quite similar to mine without the lope. Did you end up making your own power steering line and putting solid mounts on?
