Could you quickly post what the plans you are doing to the block? You stroking it, boring it out or anything? Let me know, I have a longblock that I picked up through a friend, and need some ideas!

ok update pics! got the frame of the box all welded and im going to have to think of a different way to do the front cover with the filter in do to final fitment. other than that it all fits grate and should be one hell of a sleeper (with the cut out closed). next is finish the intak manifold. hears some pics:

Im not trying to rain on your parade, but your turbo fell off and is laying in your passenger side fenderwell...

Lookin good man, but buff those welds so you dont have those big hangers everywhere. A flapper disc will work wonders on that. The weld material that far past flush isnt doing anything except being ugly.

I just picture a rock popping up into that turbine housing...

i gess as far as the ugly ness stuff goes... wate untell its done and i get it all smoothed out and every thig cleaned up. just wanted to show some pics of how the stuff fits and how its layed out. pritty colers and smoothe lines are to come on final assembly. as far as sucking up rocks, water, cats and dogs.... when i get the cover for the box it sits in done and the skid plate under the car done you all will see how i will be able to drive it in the rain or on a dirt road or threw a farm for that matter. these are all still mock up pics.
