No, my log started off life as a kb part, then heavily modified, then ditched for a truck manifold.

Yea warped out of the box I would be a little pissed.

I was able to get all the bolts in on the turbo flange. And it pulled up if you go little by little.. In a cris-cross pattern. I really don't like it but I'm gonna give it a whirl. I welded the bungs in the valvecovers for the catch cans 2, -10 an bungs. My custom turbo cam showed up and I installed that, checked preload on the lifters, and put all new gaskets on it. I'm excited and wanna drop it in.

I have a few questions:
What dipstick and tube configuration should I use?
My current nitrous setup is a nozzle where you guys think I should put it? Or ditch it for a plate?
The holes on the pan above the oil filter which one is pressure? I'll plug the other one not used..

A cheap steam vent setup I made turned out alright. I need to paint the blue one.. Kinda stands out.. Had about 60$ in the setup maybe less.

I made it out of 1/4" brake line, and at the front I converted it to an -6 and connected the two banks with push lock hose I like it I use it on all kinds of things.

Me too should be interesting. Hopefully it keeps the rods in the block for a while.. I've been so busy here at the shop. I took on a gem 5 Camaro project as well here I bought as a roller and plan to flip it when done on top of all my day-day work. It's a 13 1LE Camaro I bought has 8500 miles on it.
