Got some more work done recently. Only get about one day a week to fiddle with this between work/school/hanging out with my gramps. Excuse the cell phone pics… Stripped EVERYTHING out of the engine bay. prep prep prep :bang head: prime, color, color clear: ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/P1040933.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/P1040933.jpg) Got the rest of the fuel system mounted/routed. Here is a pic of the Jumange where the dual feeds come down from the tank and merge into the -8. ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/P1040952-1.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/P1040952-1.jpg) Feed/return/pump harness routed up to the front (pardon the grime) ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/IMG_0279.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/IMG_0279.jpg) Made a cover for the pump access hole.

Started with a flapper wheel to knock the high spots down then finished with sand paper. before: ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/IMG_0063.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/IMG_0063.jpg) after: ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/IMG_0261.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/IMG_0261.jpg) my gauges also came in finally. They are auto meter ES series. They light up red at night to match my stock gauges. I will have these mounted in the 2 remaining center vents next to my wideband ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/IMG_0282.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/IMG_0282.jpg) -cold side piping -BOV -bell housing ( :ham::ham::ham:) -boost controller -oil feed and drain lines -turbo blanket + filter - Rods/pistons/bearings/crank to be inserted into my empty lonely engine block -decide on a camshaft -Ls9 head gaskets/front/rear/oilpan etc gaskets -lifters/timing chain/oil pump/pushrods -new valve seals so i can reassemble my heads -balancer -most likely another $1000 in unexpected bullshit in addition , seems to be a reoccurring theme ---

Sweet build, its looking good. > [@Spam16v](#): > > There’s a reason for SFI regulations, lol. Been happy putting in Southbend/DXD unit myself, and so have my customers. Few dozen so far… none have been taken out of service. I’ve got a good PILE of blue garbage starting to accumulate. Old news, but Southbend/DXD FTW! I’ve run quite a few of them in Nissan Z’s. ---

Mocked up my “junk” block/heads/engine covers etc with the new K member to begin routing things… Got my intercooler piping today and i am really impressed with how painless this is all things considered… In addition to this kit all i really need to do is: - buy another 45\* coupler for the last connection before the TB - cut a 4" section off the end of the charge pipe @ the TB - reducer coupling to fit the TB - buy a wider angle “U” bend or cut and weld the one i have I will let the pics talk: ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/P1060002.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/P1060002.jpg) This is the only thing that didn’t line up. ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/P1060021.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/P1060021.jpg) This is due to the fact that I placed the intercooler further foreword than most so that it is close to the front bumper opening like so ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/429792_10100401904946218_15721110_47673774_1099822366_n.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/429792_10100401904946218_15721110_47673774_1099822366_n.jpg) all in all GREAT fit for a “universal kit” thanks to Pat for the heads up! ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/P1060016.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/P1060016.jpg) ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/P1060024.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/P1060024.jpg) Also ordered a McLeod shatter proof bell housing today and my speedINC gauge bezels arrived… Still waiting on my cam so Jay can install the cam/timing chain/oil pump then i can bring the motor home! ok, back to work! ---
