I have been getting a few things acomplished, like Dave said got the longblock in, hot pipes and turbo on, wiring is started( long way to go) line lock is on. Mark (turbogibbs) came down this morning and we put the new Eaton posi and yukon axles in ( they are supposed to be 30% stronger than stock).
C notched the frame, next I'm going to do the trans cross member for the 80e. But I'm going to figure a way to raise it because it's the one that drops about an inch lower than the frame rails...can't stand that!
Also got my new radiator today, it is thicker and narrower to allow room to run the intercooler pipes and will mount it a little more forward than stock to allow more clearance of my hot pipes. I will be doing away with the Y on the heater hose and also the tank that it runs to. I'll try and remember to get a pic or two tomorrow.

He broke a coolant line (I think it was ) at about the 880 mark at the track and when his rear tires rolled over it he lost traction and ended up in the wall and totaled the truck.
You can see it in a few of his pictures in this thread, it's the big black pile of rubble!
