Looks VERY flash. Silver and black paint?

I will have to clean mine so people don't pick on the dirty engine when I post future pics...

Is that a new fan? If so - how much and where from?

Nah its a full reco engine, not a dulux reco

Pyro and Boost gauge, mismatched color because I already had the boost gauge, from "other projects"



P/S lines



Battery/alt, oil lines started, dipstick moved, turbo and manifold on properly



Oh yea, changed the motor and auto in this thing, its halfs with a mate, he's had it for nearly 2 years, I get it back now its fried the auto

Swapped it (motor and auto) with a wreck, that's been cut up for my brothers crapper, put it in and the auto's slipping, seems like a loose forward band, not stuffed.....hopefuly, but it costs $30 in fluid to do the adjustment, so its an utter waste if the auto is junk

Shoulda have heard the big end knock in the motor, was awseome, suprised it even built oil pressure

Dammit, I tried to put my guages there and couldn't. Mine went in the other side instead. At least now I can watch them when the wife is driving.

All my diff lock switches etc are on the other side, otherwise they would have been there, I thought about ricer style up the pillar, but this was easier

Matt, that is a nice compact manifold. Is there a PN on there anywhere?

Could you do me a big favour and measure the distance from the side of the head to the outermost edge of the turbo? (or side of tappet cover to same).

I'm still looking for some ricer style pillar pods.
For the multiple gauges I need when I finally get my compounds running. 2x boost, 2x backpressure gauges.
