Looking good ken. Glad everything is still going good for you.

We gotta meet up still so i can get the other odds and ends from the camaro im hopong to get the body work done here in the next week or two but works been crazy so well see.

Think im just gunna go to a 8 point cage and upgrade when needed. Just basically gotta get doors for it which is the biggest setback right now.

Got some more done. helped a buddie move his sister n law and it killed my back. the doctor said bed rest till the bruising gos down and no lifting over 3 pounds.

Gary has done alot to help me and i would do it again to help him. I do have a video and i will edit it as soon as i finish this..

so far all i have to do is the cold side then the exhaust and messure for the driveshaft and it can all be ripped out and cleaned up. Then final installed.

I know it's only a hundred posts ago but can you give a little more detail on how the manifolds were modified? Like.. what pipe/tube was grafted on, what how was it welded. Welding cast is not so easy, so any info you can provide would be cool. What filler rod (if it was TIG'd), gas etc...

If somebody bought my 10.7:1 6.0, I'd be building my turbo motor.

Looks like great progress! Only thing that worries me is that it looks like there's a lot of spots on there for potential boost leaks on the cold side.

Theres only 2 unnessary connection joints on it and there all connected with T-bolt clamps. later the will be welded. Keep in mind this isnt going to see more than 15 psi.

I made them myself. 2 1/2" tube .065 wall. Cut down the middle. Weld some t bolt clamps on. And some rubber vibration isolators for between the tube and fuel pump.

The t-bolt clamps are a nice touch. If I ever do an external pump, I'm trying this.
