The Beast

The Beast Update!!

I thought I would post my install here on my new favorite site for anyone that has any questions. I am installing a new forged shortblock from MMR, MMR fuel rails, GT500 fuel pumps, PI torque converter, Bassani x-pipe and full gauge set with Innovate wideband and 6 Auto meter Nexus gauges. This is all to go with my TurboHorsepower twin turbo kit.

Here are a few shots of the current progress and updates. The engine is back in the car and the wiring is about 80% finished. You can see the way the wiring has been routed in the wheel well. The computer will be behind the firewall. My friend has done a great job with the wiring and it is going to end up as a very clean install.

Looking good Earl! I hope to see that beast at FFW Richmond or Bristol.

Earl

Great looking forward to meeting you guys in person.

Tight looking motor Earl! Be sure to add some pics after the hairdryers are in place.

Here are the latest shots. We started to mock fit the turbo parts and so far everything is fitting well there are a few minor clearance problems because my car is an auto but nothing major. How do you guys think it will look when finished?

Earl

They are 57mm and I upgraded to the ball bearing version so they should spool up quickly.

Here are a few shots of the current progress. Have run into some clearance problems after installing the radiator and I think we are going to change a few things around with the piping so this will cause a further delay in getting it finished. I think the wiring is very clean looking and rest of the engine compartment came out great. The fuse box is where the battery used to be and the computer is behind the firewall.



Earl

no no no.... you have it all wrong..... the exhaust has to exit out of the hood monster truck style. lol

All joking aside, that thing is too sweet for words. I have to give myself mini therapy every day to avoid tearing into my motor and building a hot 5.0 or something.
