Hello again. It’s been a long time. I decided to keep it. Too sentimental. The piston rings went. I’m going to be able to get a short block from Marc in about 6 months. Now that I know which turbine housing I’m going to use I can make the exhaust and intake as well.
Glad you kept it! I've been checking out your build. Love the airbox

Thank you! I worked hard on this. I’m glad you like it. Hopefully it will be ready to tune by the end of April

I shortened the downpipe a little to fit this
I hope haha. Wish me luck. 3” oval tubing. More ground clearance and will leave more room from melting the axle boot

Here’s progress so far. No oval tubing. Can’t get it to fit
do you all run 3” tubing? I’m worried about ground clearance and melting things?

1 3/4 roll cage tool and a serpentine belt alignment tool to merge the wastegate into the downpipe

Got the downpipes all welded up. Had to take a little off the subframe pinch weld. Doing the heat shields and secondary support bracket now
