'68 Lemans Turbo build
Turbos finally came in. 2x T70's Ebay specials. We shall see how they pan out.
Car will not be getting any bodywork, but I figured a quick coat of Rustoleum could not hurt. All that matters will be under the hood.

Verdad Gallardo It is B, but damn it, I can't the Z06 cam I need to button the motor up. Mocking the turbo hot side is all good and dandy on a stand if you are an expert. I need mine in the car so I can see how badly I screwed up the pieces...lol.
Bought a 45/64" 1/2 shank drill bit...which forced me to buy a 1/2" drill, and a 1/2" to 14 NPT pipe die to accommodate my -10 an ebay turbo oil drain fitting. I practiced on the truck oil pan first, then went ahead and knocked out the CTS-V pan. Turned out pretty well, however the fittings to the pan seemed flimsy, so I went ahead and spent the $6 and got two 5/8" fittings to screw in place. Cleaned out the pan of all shavings, applied etching primer and will paint it orange when I get home.
Looking good man, looks like we are about the same point in the build, I need to get my thread caught up. I like the orange valve covers and intake! sets it off big time, gonna have to copy you on the valve covers at least haha. Keep up the progress!
Thanks guys..I think my biggest fear is the spooling of the T70's with the .84 A/R, that and finding someone to weld up my pipes. Going with 5psi springs in some Ebay Wastgates. Will post pics when I order them.
Launching!
