Your projects are always right up there with the best in the entire diesel motorsports world & no shortage of top-of-the-line parts either. It should be called Honey Badger b/c it don't give a damn, it's a badass!! :woott:

Lmao thanks! Just about choked on my food laughing at that badger comment. My 6yr old nephew showed me the Badger video a few weeks ago.

SoCal Stg2 heads are going on for now, until I see the raised runner head come out ;) .

Sounds good, just curious as I saw a set leave industrial injection the other day and am curious to where they are heading.

Looks good Russ. That turbo sticking out of the hood might leave some people guessing what else is lurking under the hood... :thumb:

Thx! It still needs some final fitting to clear the 90* inlet, but I needed to fit the hood, to make sure the hot side pipes cleared. Got about 3/4" under the hood, and 1/2" above the valve covers.

This is from when it had a small tire running with PSCA. It was running mid 8's with an iron SBC.

Better shot of the Bickel floater that's in it now. Hoping we can get away from the Gear Vendor unit now that we can use a tall tire. Plus we will be able to spin the motor higher then the 3600 we were spinning the Chevelle, now that it won't be stock head parts.

I had a Precision A/W IC that we chopped up and made this. It will work for now, but we will make a better unit when I get ahold of a larger core.

I think that jig could very easily support the whole car. Looks like a stout piece haha

Thanks, everybody is kicking it into overdrive with only 23 days to go. Back half will be wrapped up this weekend, then we can start installing the Motor/trans/3rd/cooling system/fuel system and and and...

Time for Tubs and Tin!

Awesome looking car :thumb: I've been following this build on Facebook.

I've always wanted a nova with a big single turbo ls motor in it.

Never thought of putting a Dmax in one but I guess you did :D
