You are right about the cubic inch part. I know locally a lot of the guys are running 370 and smaller. Some even in the 33x range and are running 5 teens in this weather

Yea I have watched a few vids of guys going teens on the 76mm. Maybe when ever this engine decides to give out I will run a smaller cubed engine. Just wasn't in the cards this time around.

My Ultimate converter showed up today. This should be the last piece I need to get the car mobile.

Should be picking up the car tomorrow after the intercooler is mounted but did get some shots of the current progress.

V band the throttle body

Looking good. By when do you want it to be ready? Or when do you think it will be cranked on?

Sloppy welds, cheap parts, turbo is too small.....I don't think it will run well at all.

Better put it on a car hauler and send it to me in Oregon.

Very nice job. Looking forward to the results too!
