well i got my valve covers back from the painter, instead of the polished look the letters are now a brushed look. Also i worked on the wastegate plumbing

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
–ended up using end of a ballpeen hammer
so im still on schedule of firing next weekend. this week my fluids should be here and then got make a base file to fire the truck up with. hopefully i dont have any major gremlims

heres a short idle clip on 7 cylinders. its got some sound to it with camera under truck but as you walk around its not all that loud for having open downpipes
---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------
well it was broke where and how i had expected. simple fix and now i have 8 cylinders firing
hehe so what made u build a 7cylinder motor compared ur usual v8 variety? lolz
Ive had some help lately with allowing the truck to be where it is today. So liked to thank those that have helped over the past few weeks.
bill cosby wants to buy your truck
looks absolutely rediculous George.
thanks man, still got some things to work on.
lookin good georgie. still using the other half of the hammer:rofl:
chris and i called that one!!! lol
Those manifolds look great, whats your power goals?
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.
Lookin good.
Looks good George. Nice work area too.
That things looks beautiful George. Always liked the theme of your truck, I’ll have to check it out one of these days.
looks good
