Starting to gather parts for twins

gumby,
i remember meeting you in early 2009 in Beaumont and i was trying to remember if your truck was turbo then or not. Did you have a procharger on it maybe? I didn't get to see your engine, but I remember when you left, the truck sounded like it had a centrifigual (sp?) blower on it. Oh, and good luck with the twins....I bet your truck will run 9's!!
 
I had a powerdyne on it early last year for a couple months then a Vortec T-trim for a few months after that then the turbo starting in may!! Where you been hiding big dawg??
 
ok well I have the intercooler all mounted up. the engine bay is all cleaned up and repainted including the frame. the intercooler is all mounted up and have good idea on how all the coldpiping is gonna go! I will get some good pics today. I also am going to get the suspension done this week!! just a belltech drop beams and hangers for now.
 
OK well I got my new heads today. They are Trickflows new twisted wedege 205 cnc heads.

Wow man this build is going to be amazing!!! Still tryna get my 427ci dropped its almost been a year since I got it and its still sitting on the stand...Damn Cant wait!!!
 
yep. Longblock is assembled minus the main girdle, oil pan(should be here anyday) oil pump, timing cover,intake.

Intake is ported to 1262R gaskets.:scared1:

Build got pushed back about a month cuz I decided to buy a Motorcycle:headscratch:

I will be off this weekend and hope to have the oil pan/girdle so I can put the motor back in the truck and start fabbing the turbo kit:thumbup:
