Very yo see how this turns out. As we have discussed previously, mine is a 5.3L with D1SC currently. I am eager to see how much boost you can shove down her throat!



Great progress...keeping me motivated.

Dave thanks for using the cars as a backdrop. I am hoping that MAJOR progress comes next week.

Got the valve covers in and painted. Loving the VHT Wrinkle Plus. MIGHTYM0USE used it on my catch can so I thought I would match it.

Tons of updates.

Got the long block all assembled and am mocking up the blower and drive system. Hopefully Monday and Tuesday it will all be back in the car.



Innovators West awesome pinning kit.





Getting closer.

Looking good Nick, Damn blower looks almost as big as the motor. Glad to see Brian has his vette going too.

Yup sure is. Everyone that has seen it compliments on how HUGE the blower is. Its just a little guy.

Couple more eye candy shots:





Props to Martin at Tick, Procharger fellas and Janoy at ISS Forged.

In the picture with the GIANT procharger it seems that the front housing is kinda blocking the inlet of the water pump. ANy idea how to get around it?

Should not be an issue. Many A&A brackets out there on Corvettes.

Updates.

5th gear was trashed. Being replaced today and trans should be ready for pickup tomorrow.



Got the harness all cleaned up and retaped. Cleaned the engine bay and degreased and made look ready for the motor install tonight.





Also best friend Brian's car back from the body shop and I got the new tires and wheels on, and a new belt on the blower. Unfortunately comes with growing pains and the water pump went out. Meizere on the way for it.

A little video of it.
