heres what it looks like now. turbo is in!!
here is a pic of the engine compartment right now, kinda empty. If you look closely you can see the new K- member that is in the car. the coilovers are in there as well but not much to see there.
the new upper control arms.
got the lowers that match up at DB
and of course
Also figured out more baout the rear end setup. it is going to be a Strange 9" with 35 spline axles with the 8.8 ends so that i can retain the stock brake setup. it will have 3.30 gear ratio with a detroit locker tru track locker unit. No spool. Got the metco upper and lower control arms.
Any of you guys have anything going on?

RE: heres what it looks like now.
someone on another forum asked so here it the story behind the build and all the crap thats going in.
well for those that don't know the story, i buent up a cylinder in october. so the motor has been bored .20 over and honed. stayed with the stock crank and rods, but put in 17cc dished cp pistons and rings to match. all new gaskets obviously and much upgraded head studs to keep thhose buggers down under boost. i also got a 99/01 intake powder coated with a twin 62mm accufab throttle body. got the hellion t-76 s-trim with the BB upgrade, in order for the down pipe to fit you need the k-member and the coilover and suspension componets come with the kit. i also have a new sumped fuel tank with an aeromotive eliminator fuel system with 96lb injectors and the matching driver box. also got the RAM street dual 300 series clutch and 26 spline input shaft along with the stainless throw out bearing retainer. Tradin out the IRS for a Strange 9" solid axle with 35 spline axles, tru track locker and 3.30 gearing. Got metco fully adjustable upper and lower rear control arms to finish that off. I also picked up a steeda clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster. I also picked up the LDC head cooling mod to prevent the heat build up in the head that caused the problem in the first place.All told it is about $17,000 worth of parts.

RE: heres what it looks like now.
Very nice, I'm quite curious about the power it'll generate as well. Are you doing the install? If you need a hand, I'd be happy to help since I'm looking for ideas for what to do with mine and enjoy learning/wrenching!

RE: heres what it looks like now.
The car is acctually up at Db performance. I don't have the equipment to pull and drop the motor so they are currently handling that. one guy on svtp with basicaly an identical setup maxed out and 800rwhp dyno on 24psi.
