Update
Here are some pics of the motor.Its basically done. Just need some valve cover gaskets. The plennum is not secured yet, as i dont know if the spacer will be needed or not will work in the car. Its basically used just to get clearance on the iac housing. A probably the xtra volume would help?

But Im thinking of doing a neat remote IAC install and may not need the spacer at all.

That turned out real nice. Those valvecovers are da bomb for the money.

BTW, how are you going to put oil in it?? I'm guessing you'll be putting some kind of -12 fitting on the cover for a vent line or vacuum pump.

Brett,

It should have similar potential to Dusty's combination.
So I am thinking maybe 5.2-5-3 in the 1/8 and 7.9 - 8.2 in the 1/4.
I am not sure if LL want s to play that hard but the combination will have that ability.
To be honest the turbo is ready for that chassis to be in the 4.8/7.4 range but the heads will be a restriction long before the turbo can make that power.
