Yeah I'll definitely run it buy him. I've always sent all my gasser stuff to AMS and have not had a problem besides a block clearancing issue when I built my stroker 383.. You'll have to let me know how everything turns out!
Add another build to the list

Been real busy lately with this and side jobs. Have barely been home long enough for sleep let alone showering and eating! Ran into a few issues installing a compound kit from an LMM onto an LB7 but I think I've found a way around everything. Exergy has my injectors right now which is why I don't have the valve covers done/installed. Plan on throwing the engine in Tuesday night and mocking up the exhaust. Hoping to be running in about two weeks depending on when the injectors show up. Have some more truck porn finally...
loving the electric blue on black :thumb::thumb:
Thanks :hug: Always was my favorite colors! Debating on doing the same two tone paint job to the truck once I'm done tinkering. Engine is going in tonight after work!
Ran into the biggest issue installing a turbo kit meant for an LMM on an LB7.....
The hood wont shut :spit::roflmao:

Is the charge pipe holding you back? Looks like you could modify it to work if you have a grinder and tig handy pretty easily..
It does look high as a kite, but it would suck to hack it up after powdercoating. :banging:
Minor issue haha. I've always wanted to do the 06-07 HD hood/grill/bumper so what better time than now! I feel like I could make that hood clear easliy. But in the mean time I'll just have to rack up my break in miles with no hood for a while. More fun that way, easy convo starter haha.
The pipe that wont clear is the charge pipe from the low to high pressure, however due to the wastegate mounting and the intake pipe location I think it would be too much work to modify. I could lower the large turbo down but then the downpipe wont line up at all, and it fits f-ing perfect!

Here is the video of my one and only decent quarter mile pass and it still was a soft launch.

You can see there wasnt much fuel left. We were running 2900us and 29* of timing. It had a tad more in her but this was the first time out so i wasnt trying to crank every ounce out of her. My billet s475 and billet 104mm eat up everything. I feel the truck was good for high 9s on that set up in the video but she is all aprt now getting a fresh build, bigger parts and lighter weight. Over all im happy with the truck
The 10.50 pass was no cage, full interior with leather electric chairs, electric side mirrors, full street trim.Oh and this run was even on the stock intercooler which the next day we found a dime sized hole in the corner of it. After this is when we built the custom intercooler set up. It will be back together soon and ill make another pass with all the new goods to see how she does. I got out of the game for a year or so and have been rock crawling a ton but now i have the bug again.

Took the day off from work. Going to pick up some 5" exhaust to tie together the down pipe with my exhaust system. Relocating the fuel filter, and finishing a bit of wiring and plumbing. The cab should be bolted down tonight. Then all that's left is the waiting game for the injectors and intercooler boots to show up!
See you next weekend in ABQ
Unless Exergy gets their crap in gear, he won't be able to make it.....

You where not running out of fuel though..... you should be verry happy, 10s cost a lot!
Look at casper , thats out of fuel!! Your mph shows lack of power for a 2900pw thats is a ton of fuel with 100 overs....boost leaks suck and can rob hp......but bigger sticks our not needed to rectify the issue. Just my 2 cents
Have to watch that. My cowl doesnt have any more clearance than a stock does...unless you bring out a cutting disk
