stock head bolts tend to break off in the block when you re use them.

I just mocked everything up today and I ended up shoving the radiator and condenser back like 2 inches and now I have plenty of room for the intercooler and trans cooler. Granted I did cut out the hood latch a frame and I still have to redo it

New brackets for condenser to sit on

So the trucks running now. I started it at about 3 am this morning, slept for 3 hours and then drove it to school. The oil drain didnt exactly comeout how I had hoped...

There was less room than I thought between the A/C belt and the water pump cause thats where I was gonna run it, so instead I notched out some of the compressor bracket and got this. I have a bad feeling that its not a good enough gravity drain so I was hoping someone could tell me if it'll work or not.

I took the oil cooler lines off and tapped the block, drilling from the back so there was no guessing whats on the other side of what im drilling into. I capped it for now since I dont have the turbo on yet

Oh and I was smart and forgot to order a longer crank pulley bolt and of course no stores had one around me so I made one, well kinda, my dads a better welder so he welded it

Now that I found out about the bad reveiws of the smartfire injectors would these be a another injector that would work if they do turn out to be bad?

Deka 80s are fine injectors, very common. I think I saw a set in the classifieds for $300 or so...

yea, good decision on ditching those smartfire injectors. I am running the siemens deka 80s. I'd go with the tall injectors, as it is cheaper to space the fuel rail up than it is to space the injectors up.
