got my mounts for the left side of the block to the engine plate done. Tonight I'll drill the plate and tap the adapters. The front engine plate has worked out pretty well. This was one piece that has taken some time and effort. Now I need to figure out how to incorporate the alternator. I went this way to be more universal, and have larger bolts supporting the block. SanDeggo is using 6 10mm bolts thru the water inlets and outlets. I took a different route. He hasn't had any problems, but I wasn't sure about 6 10mm bolts supporting the front of the block. Moving right along...

I was hoping for a full day of work, but chores got the best of me. I managed to sneak in an hour of fab. Got two tube welded and one collector done. I bought some formed turbo transitions but decided to just form the 3" collector. A vice, hammer, and a few minutes it all came together. Looking forward to getting more done tomorrow.

its cool. I am waiting to swap the balancer. Can you send me out some pictures of your current alternator setup?

The hardest part is getting the parts. Just got a notice from Jegs today some of the stuff is backordered. I am moving along, but it'll be close...

I have never meet any of you in person but I am always floating around. We have a place down @ Hitler Shores. I am hoping to have the twin turbo LS powered tunnel out for Memorial Weekend. As far as people taking about hitting sandbars down south..really? I have a 24' deck and it works great. There are also a ton of wakeboard boats running around. Not sure I would have the balls, but see em all the time...
