Yeah, but now the shit is one broke biotch.....

On the second pass I made last night it snapped the front of the crank off and made all kinds of not good noises while trying to shake me out of the car.....

I guess i'll have too take it apart and see how bad the carnage is.....

Lets just say that, this time when he took it apart there were a few more individual pieces than the last time he put it together

But like /\ said, Id like to know the progress also. Anything this man does it freaking top notch

i wanna see it, just cuz were the only 2 on TR that has 85 coupes. feel me?

OK I guess it's update time.....

After my carnage the last time at the track destroying most of the motor that was in the car..... I have now decide to go to another turbo combination, just too much power available with boost.....

I sold off all the stuff that wouldn't work with the new combo, and have started collecting stuff for the new build.....

I now have a really clean std bore block, crank and rods..... I now also have a MPT70 turbo, 1/2" T4 turbo flange and the oil feed/return flanges for the turbo.....

I bought a new set of Ford Racing X303 heads, but I wouldn't use them for anything but scrap aluminum..... They were very poor quality and had a couple other issues so I just got rid of them..... I do however now have a set of Edelbrock Performer 5.0 Aluminum heads on the way.....

I am going to build my own turbo kit including the headers this time..... I have a set of 1/2" thick header flanges on the way, this should be interesting.....

Right now I have the block, crank, pan, timing cover & water pump all cleaned up and set in the car for the fitting and building of the turbo stuff..... Once the heads get here I should be able to get started on some fabbing.....

Here's a few pic's of everything so far.....
