'68 Lemans Turbo build
Ha, don't think it hadn't crossed my mind. Meant to tell you, my damn 6.0 fell off its pallet and cracked the crank pulley, bent the p/s pulley or the rod and broke the hole that the oil filler thing goes in... sigh

lolol bummer to hear about the fall. hopefully it will all work out ..... "you can do it"
It just pissed me off for a second.
Guy wanted to trade his '69 Pontiac Firebird race car for my bike with salvage title. I will post a pic later. Just don't have space for another car, especially with my move to Tampa in the fall.

Nice project! Can't wait to see where those turbos go. Don't forget about the front manifold off a Fwd 5.3 car if you are stuck trying to get the outlets pointed somewhere you can work with.
Thanks John. I did not know the 5.3 came in fwd vehicles. Not sure I want to give up my savory LS6 intake though...lol. The passenger side turbo mounting is easy. I am working with a welder bud to get around that damn C5 FEAD and alternator which now block where my turbo would have gone. That's what happens when you plan for turbos...at the last minute of a project.
Got the radiator in along with the F-body fan, fuel rail and coil packs. Also tossed on the exhaust manifolds. Truck on the driver side, f-body on the passenger side. Flanges were cut off and 2.5" vbands welded on...to make it easier to clear the frame but more importantly ease of access for turbo piping.
