Been out of town for a while, my grandma had passed away.

We should have the motor and transmission in the car soon. Then we'll start fabbing the torque arm and fuel cell, route the fuel lines, do the battery relocation, and then start on the turbo kit.

Thanks man.

After debating for the longest time, I have finally decided on going with twin billet pt6766s T4 .81AR. They might be a little on the large side, and if they are I'll switch the exhaust housings to .68 AR. They will still leave me with room to grow down the road if I end up building a bigger motor, or going auto.

--UPDATE--

Got the hydraulics done with the transmission, that was all that was left for the conversion. Got the motor in too.

Looking good, tell Jon to hurry up and get that turbo kit done.

What water pump is that?

Haha, ordering all the stainless here in a few days.

The water pump is a PRW. They are supposed to flow more than stock and cool better as well. They also have steel hubs and heavy duty shielded-seal roller ball bearings. Jon welded on some -20 AN fittings on it.
