Very interesting things in those pics to a trained eye. I really like how you braced the intercooler tanks among other things. Very well thoughtout design, best of luck.

Nice, I'm glad to see a big dog blower, the turbos are getting boring.

It will be here a bit longer, still making parts I did not know I needed! Right now I am re-making part of a fuel filter that just does not work how I want it to! Still making the alt bracket also.

I want to know what the 4 stainless lines running from around each exhaust port are and where you are tying them together. I am assuming they are so that each hole has its own coolant path to help more evenly distribute the cooling load and keep the heads down. I want more info and a better pic and maybe some detailed info on where exactly you tapped into the head for circulation.

That is a water re direct I do on some high power builds. Helps keep the rods from bending I believe!

The fuel filter is done! It will be under the intake feeding the end of the rails on each bank. Ended up about 5 inches shorter than the y block and fittings it replaces.
Alt bracket is next, almost done!

Finally put the fuel filter and bracket in place so I could make the lines for a second time! I like the fit better now and my sensor for fuel pressure has a home now.
