A few minor updates. Lower plenum is ported and polished to a shine, heads are being worked on right now. Fuel tank is back in place and lines run along with rails and injectors installed. Intercooler in place with most of the piping. Tires are on and more fender rolling being done! Turbo's and boost controller should be here within a week or two.

WOAH! The intake runners look insane! How / why did you have them square each runner off like that? Any pix of the lower plenum?

I'm assuming I've got the revised piping as I was told I could still use the strut bar. The engine is not back in yet so I couldn't tell you if all the piping is going to fit correctly. I'll let ya know.

I hear ya brother. It took me almost six months to get my block back from them. I believe their product is top-notch, customer service leaves much to be desired though...

On a good note, I got an e-mail from my shop this morning. They said they recieved the last of the pieces on Monday last week and things are coming together pretty quickly. Hopefully everything will be complete by the time I get home in a few weeks.

I waited around a year for my re-circulating pipes to arrive.

I just saw it a couple weeks back, and was talking to the builder, it should be done very soon.

If its not to late you should look into the cosworth head gaskets. I have the exact same build as you all built by GTM and the stock head gaskets failed after about 7 passes at the track and about 500 miles of regular use. This was at 20psi on the 3071s that you are using making just over 700whp. The cosworth gaskets were not avalible when my build was done but are being installed now.
