Well, we did a tear down cause fabrication is pretty much done. The exhaust is almost done to. It goes dual 3" into 4" over the axle back into dual 3" to the tips. The engine is at the machine shop right now and should be back early next week. Hopefully we get it fired by the end of next week!

as of yesterday the block was bored and crank polished, etc... i believe that the rotating assembly will be balanced today and with any luck the motor will go back together this evening ... doesnt look like i'll be able to get it done in time to tune it on saturday like i had planned, but early next week is looking promising.

The engine is just about done. I just need to get a 12 point deep well to torque the mains.
We're making sub frame connectors from scratch as well. My good camera is down for a bit but you'll get the gist.

Hopefully not going to have to scavenge. Its a very slight down hill at best, but with any luck -8 line will allow enough flow to not push seals. We did it with the turbo truck so I don't see why not with the trams am.
