looks good. Maybe it's just the angle the pic was taken, but it looks like you don't have your turbo clocked right and already have the oil line made up.

Looks awesome!
Can't wait to hear how it runs and drives..
I am building something similar for a 67 nova..

what fuel rails are those are did they fit without mods?
I wasn't sold on the Edelbrock fuel rails just yet..

Shouldn't both driver and passenger piping on the crossover be as close in length to one another as possible? Forgive me if I am incorrect. Still learning the basics of FI on here.
