well i over came my latest obstacle. I had issues with my PS reservoir hitting my collector. AFter going over all my options i found a bracket that relocates the pump over and up. You can see in the pics how much clearence i now have compared to prior. Also you can see my 304 stainless feeds and drains for the turbos

the latest update is

i got the motor in the chassis and started doing the wiring of the motor. I also redid my ventilation setup. This time i have -12 out of each valve cover into 2 seperate breather tanks. By doing it this way i can determine which of the motor has more blow by then the other. Also helps with breathing as they are larger and shorter vent tubes. i also using the Ls2/ls7 valley cover to vent the crankcase as well. With this one i ran 5/16 hose and have it routed to vent under the motor. In the pics you can see where i placed the breather tanks. i placed them there for out of site out of mind along with a better oil run off

been making good progress past few days busting my ass.  
the following is left:  
-overhaul t56  
-reset pinion  
-install trans  
-install clutch  
-weld up rad hoses [all mocked up]  
-mount coolant bottle  
-run heater core hoses  
-wire up new gauges/2step/cutouts  
-fluids

seems like alot but really isnt, i was able to hide the main harness pretty well, also hide other wiring as much as possible. It may not be a user friendly setup but sure “packaged setup”.

also was able to get the Tick [corvette upgrade] master cylinder to work with my factory pedal

the turbos are capable of 1k rwhp with around 25-26 psi. however id need to upgrade injectors, add another pump to support that power level. Also at that power level id rather not have a t56. So i wont be aiming high anytime soon.

my goal is 1 yr worth of no issues, just enjoying it. I have 10 psi springs in place now with no boost controller so whatever it makes it makes at that level.
