Sounds awesome....I'm looking to do the exact same thing. How many CI is your motor? And what made you decide on that size turbo? w/ a 454, I'm gonna be using twin S480's. Was thinking about using a big single, but kinda want to try something new. Get those pics, I'm interested..

How much did the rear end set you back. What gear you going to use?

Not finished yet. I hope to be done in the next few months. Job,work, kids and mostly money have slowed me down. But I have a stack of parts here so i have plenty of work to do. As you will find there are things that you will do and then have to re-do. This is to get things in place or make em look just like you wanted. Right now I had to re adjust the liquid ICs position and got set back again..LOL
