It's getting closer. The mock up long block is out and I'm doing some fit checking of the parts on the actual motor now. With my work load right now, I say give me another month and it will be ready to fire.

Got the last engine part I needed today from Jesel. Thanks, Bob, it was worth the wait!!!

Lightened steel rockers. Light as aluminum, but much stronger.

I temporally installed the engine so I could run all the water, oil, fuel lines and exhaust... Very time consuming. And believe it or not, the Holley Dominator DIS coils and plug wire are on the engine. Everything is completely hidden from up top but the plugs are easy to get to and change. I'm very happy with the way this turned out.

And the plumbing continues. All the plumbing is done to vent the engine. Each valve cover has a breather as well as the dry-sump tank. And everything drains to a 1 gallon catch tank that the turbo drains to with a 7/8" tube. From there it is pumped back to the dry-sump take with a electric oil pump.

Super nice job as always. Be sure to vent the catch can to the rear in case you burn a piston. Amazing how fast a big turbo can empty an oiling system especially when it's force feeding the oil pump.
