Bingo. Driver side exits normal, under engine oil pan, up to back of passenger manifold that feeds the T6.
Yup, i had one of kyles manifolds on my old 4.8. the turbo was much funner than the 150 shot i used to spray
I gotcha, never seen one in person was curious how they routed, keep up the updates anxious to see how she turns out

Well truck is a full roller now. Forgot how light a 4L60 really was... Def no Allison :rofl:
Plan is to wash the entire truck again, remove the v6 engine and body harness, and transmission harness, install and repin the v8 engine harness and reinstall. I won't need a Trans harness because I'm going full manual VB/brake TH400. First step is done just need to figure out the rest. :thumb:
This truck will also see a healthy amount of weight reduction as well, plan is to be in the 3900lb range with the new engine and turbo. V6 current weight was 4250.

Turbo manifold showed up.
For exhaust post downpipe, Im going to try and stuff the Tig'd 5" from UDP from my race truck under the little single cab... not sure if it will fit, but would love to have a part of the old race truck on the new one
Cut a damn hole in the fender and shoot fireballs at spectators!
Well engine is done and had it on the engine dyno yesterday morning.
On 8lbs, it made 688hp. This is with the 165lb injectors I supplied and stock truck intake manifold and pump 91. It will be on E85.

Plan on 10lbs as a baseline and see what it runs. The rear end will have to be upgraded pretty early on as well. I plan to top it out at 15psi and see how it runs. If the block will take 20lbs without popping a headgasket I'll do that.
Hell, you're going to be around 1000 hp at the tires at 20psi on e85, right?
What's the target weight???

That's what the engine builder said, if not more.
Target weight is anything under 4000lbs, but I may go bananas on it before the cage goes in.
Being a big(er) engine CI wise compared to a 4.8 or 5.3 is easier to make power on less boost. I didn't need to go 400CI but I wanted to
Reading this makes me want to build one so bad. I've been wanting to do this but just a little different then what brian its doing
The truck is no where near finished but just in the engine I have a little more than half compared to the LB7. My shortblock was 5500$ for LB7.
