Well we got some more done on the build. Injectors, Rockers, Pushrods, exhaust manifolds and upipes are all back on. Tried to test fit the new turbo on the pedistal and found a problem. Compressor side of the turbo is too big to mount on the flange. Brought the cab down and took some measurements to make sure the turbo wouldnt be hitting the hood when the cab comes down for good. might have to get a new set of up pipes.

GTX ball bearing turbo. I hope it has good street manners as this is my only truck for the time being. The idea of the build is to have a somewhat streetable low 11sec truck.
