Wow, I really like the lowered look. Seems like you're progressing really well, keep it up man.

Ya im pretty much in the home stretch now. Im waiting on pushrods to get here so I can finish upgrading the valvetrain w/ls6 yellows and 7.4" chromoly pushrods. After that I need to get some pusher fans and get all this **** wrapped or coated....then tuning.

Solid motor mounts are pretty much a must, also had to dent the downpipe a bit.

After the heads are on I need to get a Racetronix fuel pump kit, some 12" pushers, some titanium wrap for the hot parts and MSD wires! After that its just HP Tuners and tuning, and hoping nothing is wrong.

Got my titanium wrap in, head gaskets, head bolts(TTY), and vacuum hoses. Im going to running a custom dual walbro setup, Ive decided. A local business is starting up and offered to ceramic coat my headers for 60$ so Im going to take him up on it since the headers are by far the gayest part to wrap lol

Looks like you are coming right along...you'll be finished in no time. I'm still waiting for all my D1SC stuff to get here. Give me a shout if you need some help...I've got one arm in a sling, but I'll be glad to do what I can.

I wish there was anything for 2 people to do on this thing lol I never get my parts in a timely manner so its usually one part a time as they come. I have some 317 heads on the way that are really holding up progress. Im also sick and have a 60 hour work week that isnt helping matters lol
