Yeah, he is parting out his build, I am buying the wastegates/bovs/turbos from him.

Well... the deal for the turbos/intercooler went sour. Long story...

On to other news; I have decided on going with a single instead, either a PT88 or billet 8884. I bought some used OFI turbo headers for a single setup.

Anyways, got the k-member in, figured we could just drop the motor in from the top.

Got my rotors and pads in... painted my calipers, but didn't have time to put them on since they hadn't dried yet. It is now officially half a roller, lol.

Got the new T56 magnum mainshaft in the TR6060 today. Props to buddy pipes for helping me out. Went through all the gears, and it works. All that's needed is to cut the mainshaft a few inches, and make a linkage for the shift rail.

Unassembling everything off the front:




Case off with the stock mainshaft in there:


Stock T56 input shaft (left) vs stock TR6060 input shaft (right):




T56 Magnum mainshaft (left) stock TR6060 mainshaft (right):


Getting it all back together with the T56 magnum mainshaft:


All back together:

So you are putting Afco's in the front and Strange shocks in the rear? Why not Afco's all the way around? Just a preference?
