Default JRZ's Going In

I know how busy the boys at Forged have been. So I thought I'd post the pics of the JRZ's just before they went in the car last week...

I'll post up a couple more pictures today of the shocks on the car, the front subframe is still out of the car, so it looks like a 1/2 incomplete install.

I'll try and get some pictures of the assembled shortblock by the end of the day as well.

Ok, sorry I didn't get these up earlier, but it still is "today" Here is a bit more eye candy for this build. As mentioned before, JRZ's are on but they will look 1/2 installed until the subframe is back up into the car.

Shortblock is together, but we are still waiting on the heads. The heads will be done in the next couple of days and we can put the entire longblock together. Here are a couple pictures I was able to take today. Enjoy!

Love it when a plan comes together.

It's -5 here in WI today. We have some time before R Compound tires are advisable...

Things are getting exciting over here Something else is arriving or coming together on almost a daily basis. Still waiting on the heads, should have them back this week or early next week. In the meantime we just received the Cosworth Intake Plenum back from powdercoating. It looks pretty mean in the wrinkle black

I don't recall us having any problems on any of the builds here. We have always suggested the Cosworth plenums as they have always given us nice gains and no issues.
