My guy has just about finished puting all the stuff back onto the built block.
Including the manifolds & turbo's!!!!

Fuel return goes on friday then sat or sunday reinstall the block

wastegate relocation mod:

bumper brackets cut (pretty easy to do):
-we cut the back of the aluminium bumper brace
-also cut the actual bracket that attaches bumper to the frame rails

 

that sure is a perty motor great to see the project going along...looking forward to seeing some dyno numbers

 

Lookin good. Its nice to see that you'll retain the bumper brace, even if it has been cut on a little. A cut brace is much better than nothing at all.

 

The brace modification is awesome. I knew the backet had to be cut, but I didnt realize the stock bumper brace would fit, with some trimming. Thanks for sharing.

 

Sorry to dredge this up, but is it both bumber brackets that need to be cut or just the passanger side? Been trying to find the info out for a while to retain the stock bumper.

Thanks

 

as far as the brackets, it was just the passanger side.
for the cross brace/bumper itself, it needed to be trimmed just about all the way across the back
