I wasnt sure what section to put this in?

Looks promessing! You did put it in the right section. Keep it up!

Today I finished the intake manifold and started on the carbs. I might or migh not have more progress tonight.
Thanks,

Hey,

Did you make those A arms too? Dam, this is gonna be a hott project. Do you think you could make a motor with the turbo setup? This looks great! Keep up the great work!

What turbo setup? Get me a picture!
Thanks,
DAVID

Hey,

I am trying to find more pics. This is what I was thinking of. It is a twin turbo gn. I think they used a v8 though. There is this video. http://www.fasttrackperformance.com...s/ChrisTTGN.wmv
And found these pics so far.

Hey frank did you want to buy the motor? I am not clear on what you mean.

Looks like a good start David.

Hey Frank the picture you posted is a V8, count the valve springs.

Hey,

Dave, I was just giving a suggestion to make it a turbocharged monster motor. But, if you want to build a motor to sell, that would be cool, but I wasn't really asking. But thanks, I think. lol

Mike, the pic is a v8. I know. The gn in the video, I'm not sure about. It was discussed on another forum if it was a v8 or v6. And that picture was thrown around saying it was a v8. I know the gn's are v6's. So, I'm not really sure what swap they used for the gn.

Sorry if I confused everyone :cwm27:

Huge looking project...goodluck with the build

Thanks everyone If I dont hvae progress tonight iI wont have it till saturday night or sunday morning I finished the rear diff. Ans need to buy some super glue for the carbs. I found all the wire i need for brake line and everything else
Thanks,
DAVID

Hey everyone I am back from tuscon. I also got to go to mexico. Thats a whole other story... Right when we went through the gates there was a dead dog on the ground and blind people plaing the piano. No matter how mean that sounds it had to be one of the fuuniest things in the world.

Well here we go!

Looking good so far. I would recommend taking an ex-acto knife and grooving out the rotors, will looks much more realistic.
