baby steps to my build up
baby steps to my build up my old setup was a forged 346 w/ 300 worth of bottle.
i tore everything down back around September and parted out the motor to make way for the new setup.
well i've gathered a few parts over the past couple months.
Parts on my floor:
4.00 Crank, GT47-88 Turbo, -10an feed line, -8an return line, two A1000's pumps/filters, 2 aeromotive fuel regulators, Turbonetics BOV, 317 Heads, connecting rods, front half of cage to complete 10 pt., OFI headers are supposed to arrive next week.
so off the top of my head i still need:
pistons, rotating assembly balanced, block machined, carb intake, 90mm TB, elbow, cross over pipe, down pipe, fuel rails, injectors, driver box for the injectors, sumped fuel tank, intercooler, cold side piping, waste gate and a boost controller.
then add all the misc couplers/clamps i'm forgetting and probably another whole list of small things i'm forgetting.
its a long project but i hope its worth it in the end
motor will be a 408 or 414 iron block

FYI - Be careful with the large CID and the 47-88. The turbines on those are smallish and I've read where a few people with 360+ cid engines run into major backpressure issues
Good luck with the build

i agree, if i had it to do all over again, i'd gone 370 with a stock crank and not a 408. I learned the hard way about backpressure with bigger cubes with my incon kit
Now if you have a turbine that flows enuff, big cubes rock!!! Call Jose @ Forcedinductions.com and see what he says...you may be fine...dunno
