Think this is where I'm thinking of mounting the turbo.

Got some more parts in fittings for the Bosch 044 pump. 10an in 8 out. Decided to run 8 an to the front so that two pumps later will not need a new line ran. And it was .20 a foot difference in price. Image

Ev1 connectors for my 60lb deka injectors. A 40A relay and plugs for my water pump Image

Started tacking the 4 link brackets to the rear end. I'm wanting this rolling chassis by Halloween
Image

Radiator was picked up today as well.

It's in the new shop and I have the 4 link almost 100% finish welded will get some pics I need to get back after it but just have not had time lately. My truck has been down twice my wife's car went down twice and I have had a steady stream of vehicles to work on as well.

Started making progress again. Picked up a microsquirt for fuel and ignition control. Got the th400 bolted to the motor and the permanent motor mounts done.

Well this car took a 180 turn this summer after getting fed up with the hot side piping and a frame rail that is in the way I decided to yank the turbo off the car.
Were dropping a 5.3 ls in my friends drag race s10 with this turbo to run 6.50 index and bracket race it. Truck already has a setup suspension and is just getting a motor swap. We intened to have it done by november 7 to run the turkey bash at Hardinsburg. So were going to have to get after it pretty quick to get any testing done on the truck.

Back to the vette Its getting a super vic intake and a 4150 throttle body and two stages of dry direct port nitrous. I bought some 160# injectors plan to run e85 on the street and straight methanol at the track.
