Cool man. Looking good.
If you decide to part out your SBC, let me know what you would want for your valve covers.

Its getting there. I'm doing the whole project on cash. No credit card purchases.. that's why it takes so damn long!Originally posted by MP81 View PostHurray for parts of my old IROC going to good use!

More crap ordered. I picked up a standalone engine harness from Techrods, I have an ls6 valley cover, starter, alternator bracket, and some other crap coming. Slowly it's gonna get together.. I may be putting the car together in naturally aspirated format for now..
Battery has been moved to the hatch via BMR's battery tray. I also have been tossing the idea around of painting the engine bay.. Its a street car so, I really dont care that much about it getting dirty and such, its just that some of the paint is peeling. Hmmm decisions decisions!Last edited by shawnc16; August 8th, 2011, 08:17 PM.-08 G8 GT DD: Rotofab CAI, HID's, Breyton Race GTS'

Dupont DP90 all the way. DJ used it for his Mustang's engine bay (the orange fox body) and it holds up very well and looks great.Originally posted by shawnc16 View PostGone but not forgotten: 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z

This is gonna be beer money 2012 soon! Not much for updates. The G8 has been taking my money lately.
Bought a 31X16 radiator to stuff underneath the core support instead of behind it.
Timing cover is welded up with a 10 AN bung.
The turbo is being center mounted between the radiator and the waterpump (IF it fits) Crossover will be 2.25" OD stainless. Manifolds are 1 5/8" DIY is the only way to go.
I ordered 304 SS Weld Els about $250 worth
1/2" thick header flanges $120
Weld El collectors custom made by Columbia River $200.
Once I get the collectors in I'll pick up a set of V band clamps.
FYI this project has already doubled in cost. I still have a Ford 9" to finish and a 4L80E too.Last edited by shawnc16; December 16th, 2011, 10:07 PM.-08 G8 GT DD: Rotofab CAI, HID's, Breyton Race GTS'
