408/PT98/Six Speed Build Were getting closer to dropping the motor in and being in business, so figured id throw up some pics.
Motor
408 Cubic Inch Iron block, half filled (out of casper, courtesy of Kurt Urban)
Callies crank
Diamond Pistons
howards rods
AFR 225's, GM Carb Style intake, custom cam (off Feredays old setup)
solid roller
etc etc
Precision 98mm Turbo
Custom built Kit by RPM
Custom Front Mount Intercooler
Full suspension, tubular K member and control arms, etc
12 Bolt rear with 3.42 geared spool
Built T56 (not as built as it should be, so its probably going to explode after its first two-step launch)
315/60/15 MT DR's
Minitubbed
10pt chromoly cage
Big stuff 3
Turbo
motor at kurts place
Minitub
Brakes, MADMAN offset LCA's
Rear
Alumastar
Weight should be fairly low when its all said and done as well.
Car is being largely built at RPM in Garner, NC. Motor as mentioned before is being put together by Kurt. I have a few short term goals for the six speed, then more than likely Ill put a th210 in it with a 106 and an A2W and see how fast it will really go. Another month or two and we should be in business. Ive got a few vipers and supras to slap in the mean time, as it will remain a true street car.

Good luck with the rest of the build man and keep us posted.

My set-up is about the same.....the solid roller has no effect on drivability ...and as DR. Turbo said good luck spooling that thing with a six speed.....I finely hit 20psi at about 6400rpm and at 8000 rpm I hit 30psi plus......the boost curve is like this / and it should be like this - .....its still fast and I still run with 8 second cars. This very large frame turbo need to be loaded with a auto, and your going to loose a lot of boost between shifts around 15psi, and your will need to rev to at least 8500 and should really rev to 9000rpm to make any use of that turbo......

The cam was ground to push about 20psi (from what I was told when i bought the stuff, at 19.5lbs of boost this exact heads/cam/intake combo made 1300whp through a glide on the black car, 398ci, 91mm turbo). Through a 6 speed you can guess what that about equates too, so I dont think I will "need" to run quite 20lbs. Ill be turning it to about 8000.
It all depends on what it does on the dyno. I have my opinions, but im not mechanically inclined enough to disagree with anyone. Ill just have to wait and find out.

is sick.. He is a billet man now though.......quick, spool F.T.W!!! 
Wasnt worried about the driveability part of the solid roller, more the adjusting the valve lash often.
