Oh gosh off the top of my head I want to say it is 21"x19" with a 2.5" dual pass core. I have a SPAL 16" fan with a sealed shroud on it. Like the one below

Wow I haven't been keeping up on this thread at all! Here are some updates. This thing is coming along.
I took the turbo kit off the car to have the hot manifolds and crossover coated.
I need to:
Make brake lines
Wiring
Interior stuff, gauges, order a steering wheel setup(suggestions?)
Measure and have driveshaft made
I can add a few pics that arent all that interesting but here ya go!
This came in.
I am running power brakes on this build. I don't like the way the booster mounts at all but it will work for now.
FUELLLLLLLLL
Friday night I was tired and not really in the mood to be productive. So I made this for JT76 that hateful SOB lol
Turbo kit coated via Nitro Plate - Final Assembly Begins!
Starting to look like a car again
Wiring started
Current state

I went with HPTuners because I have used it in other builds. Next build I might explore one of the newer systems with more built in controls.
I am hoping to have it run in 2-3 weeks. Lots of wiring left.

What are you using for your steam vent setup? Iv never seen anything like that? Also, will you be running a catch can for the crankcase pressure? If so, how do you plan on routing it? Thanks, i love the Nova

It has been debated but I think I grabbed this one used on here years ago and have used it on more then one build. There are some budget options to do the same thing as well if you search for it.
For a catch can setup you can see I have a can mounted to the firewall with -10 lines going to the valvecovers that I welded bungs into. Now these too are carryover from another build and I would suggest the front of the covers for a bung might be a better location.
The can itself on this build came from ebay and I think I found the link on here(maybe denmah turbo parts thread?). All star also makes a can I have used.
Wiring, interior, steering, and other odds and ends ongoing.
I like these flexible Lokar dip sticks. Having the trans pan off made getting this one seated much easier but it isn't 100% needed.
