Dude you are THE MAN! Haha I absolutely love your project. I was just wondering yesterday whether it was possible to do a front mounted T6 like that and retain AC and then I stumble on this beast of a build. Awesome. It's amazing the amount of time you've done this in... would take me a couple years. I really would like to do something similar and am going to try pick up a 6.0 in the next few weeks here to start. Been thinking T6 408 but don't know for sure with the fab work and stuff involved and the fact that this will be mostly diy in my garage and I've never done a project of this magnitude. Tend to error on the side of overkill usually though. My goal is the same as yours, keep ac, full interior, etc. I was wondering how much clearance you have for the turbo from your accessory drive and radiator... hard to tell but looks really close. Although it shouldn't move with that brace...

I probably will have 25k in it or so after everything. Maybe a bit more but I haven't fully sat down. And added everything up. Kinda scared to haha.

80 swap complete besides driveshaft and fluid. Hopefully that'll be tomorrow then the tuner can get on dialing this beast in. I made my own tranny cross member and it seems to be working good. Used the stock t-56 one and cut it up. Hopefully the next update on here will be dyno numbers and some track videos.

Little update on the car. Got to the track finally and only got one pass before getting booted. Leaving on 0lbs of boost and having to peddle 2nd to 3rd because the car didn't want to shift the car ended up running 10.9 at 139. Definitely happy with the mph. Once the suspension is dialed in all the safety stuff is in and I get a transbrake in it hope to see low 9's out of the car. Also I did weight the car. Full tank of gas with me is 3985. That's no cage yet or the rest of the safety equipment. Should be a 4,100 lb street beast when done!

Well I lost control and the road was pretty narrow so there was no room to correct. The car went into a field and that was okay till I could see a burm ahead. I hit the burm went airborn over the ditch and then the car landed and went about another 20-30 feet and stopped.
