Isn't the saying two is better than one?



Header wrap has to change though.

Oh ****, whats this? Progress? Yes, yes it is. Hot side is all in. Figured out the downpipes and they are in. Gotta bolt the turbo's in and finish up the cold side. Get some tabs to mount the radiator and intercooler good and sturdy. Now just got some suspension pieces to come in that I overnight parts from MERICA!!!! 4L80 should be back from getting built soon and have been gathering parts at the shop for the next motor which might just have 6 bolts per cylinder and some heads that might have TFS on them...


Those twin 6766 BB turbos should make some noise.

Now debating on going manual steering and switching from vaccum brakes to hydroboost.

Super nice build, 3rd gens rule!! Just in case you didn't already know you can run the 4L60E trans tune with the 4L80E. The 4L80e tune segment disengages the lock up clutch when it see's o% tps it's a PIA when you have a higher stall.
