Flipped truck manifolds and fabbed up hotside. 2 1/4 of each manifold to a 2.5 merge to the t4 flange. Gate priority is pretty good and works well.

Could’ve pulled it closer to the engine

Thanks a lot

Got rid of the qa1 sa shocks off the front (not great for what I needed). Installed a line lock. Swapped to a TBSS intake and plan on 120 injectors as my 80s will most certainly be straining this year to keep up with the duty cycle. Lastly I plumbed some pre turbo meth. So once the weather straightens out and I’m ready to go I’ll throw the Vbox on the dash and see if it any of it was worth it! Lol

I did plug the heater hoses. Here’s the thing. I used a straight t stat housing from Jegs and a thermostat from a gen I small block. I had to relieve the housing just a little so the t stat would sit in it properly. Drilled a few holes in it to aid in letting out any trapped air when filling. The bottom hose is from a V8 Ford Explorer. Trimmed both ends but the bends were in the right spot. I’ve had absolutely no problem with any cooling issues.
