I wouldn't look at much in these pictures as being permanent. The car is very, very early in the fabrication phase. All those details will get ironed out as the build moves along.

The engine, trans, etc all of that stuff is just in there for mock up purposes. All that shit is going to come in and out several times before the car even goes to paint and body.

DOHC, I've heard the timing chain is a mile long too.

Ok, break it down for the turbo newb here.
Are you talking about that bolt on fitting between the drive and compressor shells that looks like an oil return line?

Yes the oil return. On a typical high mount (higher than the oil pan) location you use a gravity feed setup to drain the oil from the bearing. On a low mount like that one you use a scavenge pump. If the angle is too extreme or drain too small you risk backing up oil in the turbo, blowing seals along with other nasties.

wham bam thank you maaam!

New rear LCAs, panhard bar, and LCA relocation brackets/hardware.. basically all the stuff I need to start my rear suspension.

That frees up my dollars to get subframe connectors, springs, and shocks. Hell, maybe even a torque arm~

yep. This is why everyone does LS swaps into every car.

Pushrod motors are much smaller than DOHC motors.

Mine runs the office at the shop and always used to , and every once in a while still, ask some stupid ass questions.

It would drive me nuts but I was too stupid to understand she just didn't know the basics. She was actually trying to learn. Now I can listen to her talk to customers and she not only sounds like she knows what she's talking about she actually does.

Pretty proud of her.

Awesome. If my wife were into cars, my toy would probably be a lot further along by now.
