Default Install Of Aps Twin Turbo!!! Kwikss

Ok first I'm glad I have a lift to do this, I'm still a young guy at 23, so no back breaking for me. The jack stands are for the birds.
This is a complete list of what I'm installing on the car
Katech LS2 402 Stroker
APS Twin Turbo Kit
ARP Head Studs
NGK Tr6 plugs
AFR 225 72cc heads
GM 6.0L gaskets
BMR K-member
Double pumper kit with rails and reg from one of the sponsors
60# injectors
BMR upper A-Arms
BMR Crossbrace
Hooker Y-pipe into my Corsa exhaust(With Cutout)
I may of lift out something.

Ok I started out at 12:30 and worked till about 2 oclock. Had a Baby Shower I had to go to. Everything came off pretty easy. Next step is to pull the K-member with the engine and trans all together and pull gas tank and send off the sender unit. I'm doing all this at my dads Hanger we have. (No plane, just cars). Here's some starter pictures for you guys.
Notice the nice Binder I made up for the install guide. Still waiting on K Member from BMR

Under the covers are two race cars, that are my dads friends(other guy who went in with the hanger with my dad.) Ones an open wheel car and other a MG car. Dont know the classes. My dads going to start on his 57 chevy truck project very soon.(Not pictured but its there.)

Looking good. I will hopefully only be a few days behind you here. Wanted to start yesterday but too much gas in the tank so driving it for another day or two. Easier to drop an empty tank!
