Winter Coat


Ready for any kind of weather conditions!

Gauge Cluster


Started work on the cluster. This is the main design of it, just needs to be tweaked a little. Will have plexiglass seperating the gauges from dust. Main gauge i center is a Speedo/Tach Combo from Autometer, bottom left is Autometer Fuel Level, bottom right is Water Temp from Autometer. Top Left is A/F Gauge from AEM and top right is an AEM Boost Gauge. All gauges light up red and are digital.

Turbo Time!




Decided to add a Precision 6766 Ball Bearing Turbo rather than a big cam and expensive intake setup. I also started making my turbo headers. The turbo will be mounted directly in the front center or slightly to the passenger side.

Caged in




Installed a simple cage to give myself peace of mind since I removed the factory roll hoops. Also did it to satisfy NHRA tech and SCCA tech. Fuel Cell and Taylor Battery Box are also mounted to spec.

It fits!




Engine is finally in and fits nicely.

Engine Bay Shave






Engine bay is finished and painted - next the engine can go in.

LS9 Valve Springs





LS9 Valve Springs were installed in the otherwise stock LS1 to handle a larger cam or turbo.
