Love these V8 builds. Looks like it is going to be a blast to drive when done. Good luck

The welds on a collector I'm making for the turbo. Not too bad for only tig welding for a week lol

Started messing with the wiring and pulling out the old sound deadening material to make way for some dynomat. Might have to modify the trans tunnel when I get the 4L80E too, not sure yet.

New turbo!

More manifold fabing pics
Me cutting away

Need to get a few flanges and pipe to make the downpipe and here is what's to come!

Can't say I was too pleased to find this the the turbine side of my turbo when I took the housing off. It's a Borg Warner S472 from Forced Inductions. Good thing I found it I', sure my wheel would't have liked that too much...

Can that be considered swarf? Lol

I once worked for a Hydraulics company, lathe I ran had an 11 foot bed and for "fun" I'd put a 10 foot pice of 3" thick wall tube in with a follow rest and turn it into one piece of Swarf (was a bit of a comp to see who could make the longest single piece)

So yep to me that could be Swarf!

 

[msimsi10]

4" downpipe

Whose wiring harness are you using? That fuse box looks nice.
