Brocharged GTO build up
Well, I guess it's close enough now that I can start up a thread for my build. It is a 5.3 iron block, bored a hundred over to a 347. Ported 243 heads, Futral boost specific cam, full exhaust, and most importantly the F1 blower:
With an eBay intercooler:
This kit is pretty much a combination of parts thrown together, but I like to call it a "custom" kit. LOL
I'll update as the build progresses.

Awesome setup... I'm doing the same motor on my turbo build right now. Hopefully you'll get some video up soon. Like to see it perform. How many #'s are you planning on running?

Thanks playa, I've seen you out before a year or so ago. Your car does werk!
Like that? lol
Things should fall in place pretty quickly, just waiting on the cam to arrive then it's off to be tuned. Boost levels are undecided, but I do have a bench mark where I'm going to stop power wise.

11:1cr? Nice.....I hate the way everyone drops down to 8.5-9:1 just to turn the boost up higher.... I've got my 408 built with 12.5:1 compression and full timing running on pump gas and here sometime in the future plan on turbocharging, but keeping the high cr and basically build just enough lag into the setup so I don't start building boost until just after 4,000 rpms where the motor is spinning too fast for preignition to occur and do damage

Made some more progress today, as the cam was installed, all front end accessories put back on, and then... The blower was bolted up.
Next up mocked up the piping from the blower to the intercooler, and then from the intercooler to the throttle body..
And then we routed the belt.. I must say Kent(9secgoat) did an awesome job fabbing this kit up for our cars, and I can see why he had little trouble with belt slip through a 6 rib belt, it's hard to see in a picture but check out how much contact there is from the blower pulley and the belt. Pure awesomeness.
I'll try and get a closer picture of what I'm saying next time I'm at the shop. Before we left, all piping was tightened together and looks to fit great.
Getting closer, still have to custom up the radiator hoses and move the power steering reservoir. Then hook up the gauges, and install the fuel pump.
