Default Sneek peek!!

Kyle's turbo kit is on! We are trying to get everything done while the motor is out being rebuilt. We still have some fabrication to do as well as running the whole fuel sytem, radiator hoses, electrical and boost lines. Hopefully we will have pics next week of the cage all tacked in.

I'll let Kyle post the rest of the pics!

That's sweet looking. It doesn't look like it was made by a bunch of APE's.

The panel gets put in place of the a/c unit on the firewall. We modify the heater box on the inside of the firewall to keep heat. Basically we just take out the a/c portion of that whole mess under the dash and in the engine bay

John, you can't have heat without coolant lines. When you take that AC and Heat Exchanger out there are still coolant lines that need to get hooked up. It works a little nicer than the Mojave heater from Jegs since you get to keep all of your vents and such. The problem is that it still has the weight of the blower motor and such.
