My first engine build.

Parts are starting to show up. Getting excited but pistons take about 3 weeks to make. So wont be doing anything til they show up. Then the machine shop will probably be another few weeks. This is what circle D recommends for stall converter. What do you guys think. I dont know anything about them but sounds about right since I have to tow camper sometimes.
We could try a tight 258mm converter. This would get us in the mid 2K footbrake RPM which should be great for this sized turbo and still be decent for towing use. For lockup, I would recommend you opt for the triple disk. Thougths?

Decided to try and make this ugly truck intake look better for the new engine. First lesson is melted hot intake material will melt a good hole in your flesh when it lands on you. Lol. Figure I will get it fairly smoothed out then put on a few layers of fiberglass to cover up the holes. Hopefully it will stick and be strong enough.
