pix from the turbo build

Dropped the car off 1 mile under 83k



Old engine bay...so long Vortech. It has a very nice home now



Engine is out



Rob & Josh having fun



A few pix of the engine with the transmission, momentun headers, and ART pipes installed.









Tear down begins...











Lucy's guts just sitting there on a rack



Time for paint, polish, & chrome!

Front timing cover professionally polished this time...doing it by hand with it in the car was no fun



Alternator, crank pulley, and power steering pump







Finally...everything arrives from GTM :JAMIN:



strip tease...



Stage 4 transmission



Snails





On with the motor build!



...and installing all the shiny new stuff







Not much room for the turbos





Almost ready



Up she goes





The bigger intercooler meant I needed to move my coolers...still need to find a better location...







As she sits today

Nice upgrade Chris. Any tips to keep these f/i cars cooler?
