This engine was possibly going to be one of the guinea pigs for them. Tom and I talked about it but they weren't finished at the time and I didn't want to wait. I'm personally not sold on them other than for aesthetic/packaging sakes. I also wanted to have the ability to change turbos without having to redo all the charge piping layout. The plan is to possibly upgrade to a hybrid small frame billet 88 in the future if we decide we need more power.

YOU calling ME crazy - c'mon John.......really?
Alec is a fabricating madman when he's on his game. I come up with ideas and Alec's the one who makes them crazy. I don't think his bag of tricks has a bottom.
I'm pretty sure crazy fits in there somewhere Will...
Hey, I was mild mannered, laid back, Mustang guy until I met up with you. You my friend are a bad influence. It's my story and I'm sticking to it. "Will made me do it", sounds about right...
Alec is coming up with some really neat stuff on the GS, can't wait to see it finished.

Wow, continues to amaze me...
Not to bad, I guess it will do...
Yeah - it's all just boring everyday bolt-on stuff.
Ordered most of it from Jeg's.......

I can't tell you how many '70 GS Buick's I've seen with 1600hp twin turbo's on 315's with a 25.3 cage. You might think of building something a little different next time...
Hey, I hear guys are starting to build Mustang's, ever think of building something like that ?
It's been a while but in case anyone is still interested we are almost done with the fabrication stage of the build........
Seam sealed/primed firewall, Wilwood master cylinder, and steering linkage
DSide downpipe mockup
PSide downpipe mockup
3" to 3.5" transition from turbo (for future upgrades)
Transition from round to oval tubing
Borla mufflers
3.5" tubing over the rear (this was a major pain but it clears)
Overall the exhaust is tucked between the cage and the body - it won't even be visible unless you roll under the car

Few more misc progress pics.....
Heat exchanger mounted under trunk floor for liquid intercooler....
Tubular radiator mount
Bell crank throttle linkage - this took some heavy duty thinking to figure out - Alec is smarter than me.......what can I say?
Bulkhead for AC lines thru firewall
Removable trans crossmember
It's starting to take shape. Hats off to my man Alec - the guru of fabrication!
