Nice! Thanks for the car porn lol. Can't wait to see finished product.

 

I was wondering where your build had skulked off to. Looking very delish as usual mang.

 

Front bumper and lights are back on now, tomorrow i deal with some electrical issues and install my tapped oil pan in place of the non tapped one i have now. This block originally had an Alpine turbo installed and the tap location in the block will not work with this turbo location.

 

Looks good. Keep up the good work! Cant wait to see more pic's bro!

 

Awesome build. Are you making your own motor mounts?

 

Yes I made my own mounts, the only one that isn't solid aluminum is the one on the belt side of the motor.

 

Fuel. Spark. Good cranking signal. No leaks...time to try a cold start. Fail. Too cold for an initial start up, had some rough idling but not steady enough to keep torturing the engine. Flooded the cylinders and gave up until a warmer day.

Since the original post and motor install I had to remove the engine and trans again due to an oil leak which turned out to be a missing galley plug. In all my moving around and lots of small parts I overlooked this somehow. So that leak was fixed and everything went back together only to find one of my axle seals had a small leak, I drained some trans fluid and replaced the seal. All is well...for now!

 

Everyone sing with me...IVE GOT HOSE, IVE GOT HOSE!



I replaced my old set due to them having coolant taps installed, before tossing them out I had the idea to cut one to replace the 90deg hose going to the thermostat housing...all silicone now!

 

Sweet!.. Post a good shot of your downpipe to show how much room is gained with the Atlier Alt relocate kit
