I'll be going through this soon, so I will probably be in touch with you on there since you have been through this v8 swap. I have been through the turbo LS stuff so if you have any questions I'll help as much as possible.

I've figured out that I won't get help on 355nation except for with stereo stuff and 3" up or down. Maybe 20 guys know anything about anything to do with engines and swapping engines, but 90% think they know everything about everything.

I would think they would use standard stuff that's readily available. Assuming it uses the same parts as a silverado it would be steel. But I would have to look into it more.

I'm not sure that I would shove in there. Whatever it is it needs to have disks on the back.
ever thought about just putting a truetrac in it for a while?

I had one on back order for months before I got fed up and pulled my money out

Here is alittle progress. Engine in-p12-megasquirt parallel setup wired up- modified ls4 manifold :sneaky: and the general turbo placement. I even have room for a down pipe and don't have to stab it through the fender!
