UPDATE: Life has thrown me some bad breaks, got divorced had to sell my house and give up half so I'm finally stable now and I'm making a slight change for now, the engine I was building for boost is on the back burner for now so I'm going to swap my CNC ported AFR 210 Eliminator Competition heads onto my other fully forged 383 N/A short block which will drop the compression enough for me to install my turbo kit on it and get the car back on the road. Everything else will be the same, I just purchased the Viper 2nd gear and mainshaft so I'm waiting for a call back from Liberty transmissions to tell me when I can send the Viper 2nd gear for faceplating. Once I get that done I will send my faceplated T56 to Tick Performance and have the trans disassembled, cleaned, sprayers and bungs installed and the faceplated Viper 2nd gear and mainshaft installed. I'm currently cleaning the entire underside and engine compartment then I'm going to paint everything with POR-15 then I will install my dual Racetronix 340 pumps, wiring and -8an feed/-6an return braided steel lines, custom exhaust, the rear suspension/S60 and new stainless steel hard brake lines and braided flex lines. Next I will test fit the engine in the car so I can notch the windshield cowl for my 4150 tb/hat and remove the engine until the trans comes back and the turbo parts come back from Jethot. Finally I'll install my new heater core and lines, ac evaporator and lines and everything that's hard/can't be reached with the engine in the car permanently then I'll install the engine/trans and everything including the wiring harnesses, dash interior harness etc. I'm also doing an interior color change and I haven't located all of the parts I need.
So hopefully I'll have everything done by the end of August.
