Default My 408 Turbo Build thread...
OK, after quite some time of hard work I have finally made the monster make noise. Here are some random pics of our build. If anyone wants a specific pic, just let me know and I'll take it. I"ll post up interior pics tonight or tomorrow.

So everyone knows this is a 408 with a 91mm Kentucky Turbo kit.

Thanks to everyone in this section who has helped out.

Here ya go....

K-member day...


Front end needed to be rebuilt to fit fal240 fans and condensor. Yes I kept my AC



Even with the vertical front mount radiator, our clearance was cutting it very close.


Our whole bmr set-up, upper and lower control arms and k-member






Now the finished product.....almost....
