heres some pics in no particular order from the past year sense ive been on here last..
truck as it sits now waiting for new junkyard motor
one of the main reasons ive been slacking on the build. had this little girl last November 7th and she obviously takes up a TON of my time! :-)
Close up of the exhaust exit out fender before rear pass side tire
Decided to clean up the harness and ordered a custom plug and play one from BPAUTOMOTIVE. Very happy with it!
Painted the new grille with gloss black to break up the front of the truck a little and hide the intercooler
Ditched the fender liners for more space up front so I had to make a quick simple bracket for the fuse box and wires to sit in. ( cutting fender liners this week to fit in around everything nicely)
Went with the new holley valve covers with the coils mounted directly to them for a cleaner look, and powder coated them and some other things.
Fuse box mounted without cover in pic
Fitting I cut up and tig welded into the front cover for an oil return for the rear mount
Fitting tig welded into a bung to go into front cover
Engine bay with valve cover pulled trying to find the noise before I pulled the motor
Motor I just pulled out to have rebuilt to maybe use in my grand national project
Now with putting my new motor together Monday and putting it in I may ditch the rear mount and go single up front. Not because the rear mount wouldn't be fun or anything but to get rid of a lot of the extra piping and oil lines/pump ect to clean it up and simplify it a bit. Ordered some ls1 exhaust flanges and some sch 10 piping and t4 turbo flange/ vband to make something similar to this but a little cleaner for the pass side. Next update will probably have the truck with a front mounted turbo on it!
ill update more this up coming week when I go front mount and with new motor!

Looking good , i got a few ideas for my build while reading over yours . Prob going to mount my fuse box like you did and keep out my inner fenders . Looks like you ran your intercooler pipes threw the radiator support . Do you have any close up pictures of the pipes going threw

Monday im going to try and have the new motor put together and in the truck. if the parts for the front mount arnt here ill start it as is. if they are it may be like thursday i start it cause ill be making the front mount kit for it. either way next week its going to the tuner down the street lol
and for a fan combo im running a camaro fan and 1984 corvette radiator. i cut the fan shroud down and did a ton of trimming and had to make brackets but it fits good. i also recessed the radiator into the core support where the ac stuff was at first.
