^ I second this. I can't wait to see this done because I have always loved the turbos over the superchargers. Good job on the build it loos sweet so far.

So what made you dump the SC and go with the Turbo? You should put a list together in the "How to section" on this build. I would love to put a turbo on mine if I knew what was needed and how to do it.

So I did some stuff today, installed the oil pump and bolted on the pan. Pictures will be posted tomorrow because I'm too lazy to upload them tonight.

![]() Modified oil pump to clear ARP main studs. ![]() ![]() Oil pump installed. ![]() Oil pan installed. You can also see my turbo oil drain on the pan along with the tee fitting being used for turbo oil feed and sending unit for aftermarket pressure gauge. ![]() Otherwise no real progress has been made. I'm still waiting on a few goodies to get here before the top end can be fully assembled. Once that is done it's on to the transmission!

You should paint the block something other than black.

![]() I just happen to be working on the car right now and decided to take a few pictures for you guys. I know it's a little extreme for most but like I have said before I'm going all out. ![]() ![]() Incase anyone doesn't know that is what used to be here. ![]() Made myself a delete plate out of some 1/8" 6061 aluminum I had laying around. I may polish it later but right now that would just make everything else look even more dirty. My other pictures didn't turn out for some reason I'll take them again and update later.
