Way cool project. But are you worried about the log cracking? Because it looks to me like it is flux core mig welded and I know that lots of people complain about diff manufacturers turbo logs cracking. Keep up the good work!

Turned out good!
Hello
How do you like going from a blower car to a turbo.... Kinda Like night and day isn't it! When the boost is there its there. Great project turned out really nice.
Take it easy.

Thanks for the compliment Brad. It is a night and day difference. We had nothing but problems with the SOHC motor and then the vortech blew up when we tried to lean on it. Best ever before the swap was a 13.0 and the way it feels right now it is much quicker. We are hoping to sort out the QA1 k member fiasco so we can dyno it then get to the track.

Nice build!!! I really like the sn195s with the LSx implants, especially when there turbocharged!!! Thanks for sharing....

fuel lines are 3/8" feed and a 5/16" return. The owner didnt want to upgrade from the 42# injectors he had in the old 4.6 supercharged so we have it set at only 8psi of boost. Due to the fact that the injectors are too small and there isnt any meth on it yet we havent taken it to the dyno or track yet. the owner is happy that it is faster than the old 4.6 SOHC. We are trying to talk him into upgrading the fuel system so we can lean on it.

I am really interested in the pictures you have of the motor mounts. I am doing a swap into a 1998 mustang GT, engine is from a 2000 silverado truck.
Do I have to swap to a LS1 oilpan and pickup?
Is there mounts I can buy to bolt the LSx engine straight into the mustang?
