    this year or next year, its up to you. is it cheaper to buy the block after you destroyed the rotating assembly or before the stock block breaks and destroys that same assembly?

    I love the way it looks however once all the piping is built I plan on getting it ceramic coated.

    Thanks.

    D-Land,
    I am waiting on my stainless piping to get in. If it shows up tomorrow I will be building some of the hot side piping this weekend.

    My splayed caps came in today. They are at the machine shop getting put on my 2 bolt block.

    Thanks for looking at my build.

    A little update: The headers have been installed. I am waiting on the rest of the stainless tubing to get here so I can build the rest of the hot side piping and mount the turbo. I am calling my machinist tomorrow to check on the status of my block.

    I have added some pictures of the new headers installed. It is going to be a really tight fit installing the turbo on the pass. side frame near the front headlight. Check out the pics. Thanks.

    Your build is looking good. Just 1 question...why go with the A/A intercooler if you are going for all out drag race performance? Are you planning some street time as well?

    The only reason for using the a/a intercooler is because one of the classes I am racing in allows for only a/a intercoolers. If that ever changes then I will be changing over to a a/w intercooler. I am trying to get a set of drag radials this year and maybe put it back on the street.

    Thanks for checking out the build.
