You want to make those pics a little bigger!!!
THat looks real good. I am looking forward to putting my T64 on if I don't sell the car.

Man, that twin turbo setup looks sweet. I'm planning on ordering the Banks TT manifolds in a few weeks and start working on a setup for my GTA. Just one question, the Banks manifolds don't include the downpipes, right? Looks like I'll have to fab up my own.

The downpipes don't come with the Banks manifolds. I've got the downpipes dumping right out. The wastegate points out, and the downpipes make about a 110 degree bend down, and then turn back to end just below the frame rails. They bend a bit to clear the steering linkages, etc... If you do get the manifolds, do whatever you can to open up the wastegate ports. Maybe my exhaust housing is on the smaller side (.58 ar, I wanted fast spool up for road racing), but with the old combination, I was starting to see some boost creep, and I'm sure it wasn't due to the open dump tubes.

Yeah, the wastegates protrode out the front. I had to move the alternator over to where the AC used to be, and move the power steering bracked down about an inch. I've posted pictures of the front of the engine before, linked off of http://www.skulte.com/logbook.html. Hope this helps!

Anyway, looks good... I like how you cut the dash around the dash brace and diagonal.
I want your steering wheel.

Edit - I meant to say "dump pipes" above. I've got open dump pipes from the wastegates, and 2.75" dia downpipes going to a 3.5" Y pipe, and a plain 'ole SLP catback. Once it's running, a weekend project will be to fab up 3" downpipes, to a dual exhaust dumping in front of the rear wheels w/ the flat NASCAR style boomtube exits.
TPI383, I haven't tried licking links yet. The monitor would probably zap your tongue, like sticking it on a 9V battery, not that I would know anything about that
614, glad to see your truck is together. That's a really cool blower setup on the V6
The pictures look great!
There's a time trials at LimeRock on Friday, and hopefully on Saturday I'll have enough finished to fire it up for the first time. The butterflies are going...
