It fit with the new hood. I ordered a a/w intercooler kit from frozenboost.com I'm going to run the type 12 2000hp intercooler Bosch pump, heat exchanger a ice box. My turbo smart blow off valve showed up I bought the 50mm race port. I also purchased a leash boost controller and a bump box for my Trans brake. Couple more hours of work then i could probly start it up.. Probly be a couple weeks before it will be done enough T to drive

 

So the intercooler setup shipped, I'm not sure exactly where I'm going to mount the intercooler. Me thinking either off the turbo, or under the radiator, I removed the crossmember under the radiator.

I also just bought my wheels for the rear, I just went with the weld Vitesse 15x12 with a 4.5"bs with a 4.75pattern. With champion bead locks.

 

Ok I been trying to figure out what Ima do in the rear end. I think I have a plan and I'm probly gonna get flamed for it, but f it! Stock rear axles are 68" flange to flange I'm thinks about adapting my truck to a 9" robbed from a 4th gen f body. A local guy has one for 1700$ it's a moser 9" with a spool and 373 gear. It's 60" flange to flange and has piñon centered already. I'm gonna run a cell anyhow so I'll adapt the lower control arms, torque arms and springs to work in my truck so I have an easy suspension to adjust and modification with parts I can buy almost anywhere anytime. Yet the strength that I need to do work. And still light.

 

What's your budget?

Got torque has bolt in 9" with strange pro hd case, 35 spline axles and locker for 3400

 

I could build it new for that $

 

Intercooler showed up.. "2000 hp" rated a/w from frozenboost.com thing is huge! And weighs 35+lbs I hate to put it on the nose but really don't wanna run a bunch of piping. All over

 

Will it fit in the factory battery or air filter locations (the corners)?

 

Nope it's huge I'm thinking Ima mount it where the gas tank is

 

Random thing I figured out what happened to the 408. So Ima have the head checked/ repaired if needed. Head Dosent have any pitting just had a miss when cold and I suspect one of the valve was hit and is slightly bent.

 

Ptv was checked??
