Long story short, I was at famoso running a few passes, and knew something was completely wrong. Had it towed home and friend pulled motor for me. Spun a bairing, torched rods, pistons, few cylinders were pitted, and was purely pissed. Maybe 5-6k miles on this motor and already gone. So anyways, I bought a few new products and ditched motor, mid mount turbo i use to have, and moving to front mount now.
Product List:

TMS short block for boost
Forged bottom end
main studs
head studs
heads re-surfaced
Stock48 cam/springs (and crap load of questions to him, thanks again)
4l80 Tranny kit on way
Yank Converter- Thanks again to stock
flex plate on way-Damn that's not cheap
Front mount turbo being built- (thanks Kyle)
Fuel upgrade/Walbro e-85- I have a aero 340, I might run both if it is possible?
More meth- Figuring this out now
Bigger injectors- Not sure if i'll stick with these.

My goals are to get in the 10's, and I believe I have a great chance to do it with this setup. My best old time was 11.7, and if this turbo doesn't workout for me, i'll sell it and buy a bigger one...

Everything is being done over. I pulled all the old pipe from the mid-mount turbo, tossed it all. I might use the Blow off, wastegate, and I/C piping. that's about it. Right now the truck is gutted, tranny was sold, T/C was sold, and replaced. Motor still needs a few things put together, maybe a few hours of work. Tranny needs built still, and fuel will still need to be installed. I'll be asking alot of questions, so i hope everyone doesn't mind if you get random messages..... I'm just researching peoples experiences, thanks for everyones help that I message, and actually responds.

I'll upload pictures later, thanks.

 

in for pics!!

 

I just posted a few. Motor is in there, and parts are coming in day by day... Hopefully, I get it done right this time lol

 

looks like its gonna be a good build

 

My list of to do stuff. I finished putting motor together. I am having Kbracing (kyle) do my turbo kit, I just do not have the time for it. My next step is putting my walbro pump in and this will be my first time doing it. It doesn't look hard anyways. TBA

My kit from Dana is on its way from ProBuilt. Tim sent out the shaft already, and when those come in, tranny is going to shop. Thanks to those two for help.

 

Few more parts are in and motor tranny has been sent off. Hope all goes well. I. Might put this on the back burner, too many holidays and not sure if I want to fork out all this money.

 

Installed tranny, transfer case, driveline is back on, and motor is in. Rewiring motor now, and waiting on a few parts. Still need turbo kit and Kyle is building that now. Shouldn't be long.... Once nate from aop sends me the injectors, ill be turning her over...

 

I have a weakness for SS trucks

 

Front mount came in from and the install will start on next days off. Should have it going by next week to start the break in on my motor/tranny, and Nate@aop is sending me some injectors to use. IF everything goes well, i'll have it up and going within a week or two.....I'll post vids and pictures then.

 

FInished up the repin on the tranny, but does anyone know if I have to add the extra vSS for the 4l80 swap? I heard you can get away with it without adding the extra speed sensor, is this true? I found a cheap way to get a vSS for 20$, just need reassurance on buying it.thanks.

Anyways, front mount is on, cold pipe is all done, ran the feed line, had the drain line upsize and installed it too. Finished the tranny lines to the tranny cooler, and coil packs are now on. Waiting on a 90 elbow for the turbo filter, and injectors. Still waiting on injectors......Once i get those, i'll turn it over and pray...
