As promised...here are the pics and some discriptions. I still need to take a few of the PSI Conversion harness but this will wet your whistle...

This is a shot with the new intake installed. I am not thrilled with the purple fuel rails but they will do for now. Currently has LS3 42lb injectors right now...that will also change since it won't be enough. Also shows the two manifolds I plan to use - one driver's side truck manny flipped and a driver's side Fbody manny.

Next couple shots show the clearance on the truck manifold on the passenger side...its about a 1/4". I am thinking I will still pull the motor...again :faint: ...because I have to drill and tap the pan for the return fitting of the turbo. Driver's side F-body Manifold fits perfectly. I am still not 100% sure if I am going to bring the crossover under the pan between the sump and crossmember or back further under the bellhousing.

Where I plan to put the return fitting for the turbo (I am thinking I may overfiill the pan with oil and let the positive pressure push the chips back out the pan...also work with the grease on the bit method.) This is just left of the balancer when viewed from the front.

LOL...where do you think I got the idea to drill the pan on the car? :unibrow: :lol:

But honestly I'll lose a day or two if I properly yank the thing and drill the pan off the car...probably what I will do. I have been working ridiculous hours lately so I am pretty beat lately and haven't been making the progress I have been wanting. Oh well..that's life I guess!

More updates to come today! I welded up the passenger manifold and added a flange to bolt the midpipe to. Harness has been laid in and ordered a TON of pipe!
