My arm has been twisted!
I've got some big news I'm sitting on -- something some of you guys have been asking about, and something probably pretty unexpected coming from me.
I'm going front mount. Yeah. Recover... Breath... It gets better though. I'm working with a site sponsor... After years of teasing Rick @ Trick
, I talked to him about his ideas for a front mounted twin kit and he offered to build me some tubular headers and dp's.
Good news is, he's going to make it a special order kit -- not to put words in his mouth, so ask him for details, not me fellas -- with some pretty cool features like all stainless construction and a warranty against cracking (again with the check with him for details!). I think he's even calling the kit "The Berserker"...
Or something fitting anyway.
I'll be running the same turbos, gates, FMIC, and BOVs, but will swap on the bigger exhaust housings. I'm also changing out the low end (
Yes, I was wtfpwned by a 15A fuse... ), and while I'm not 100% decided yet, looks like I'm heading to LSX and 427ish cube-land.
Yes, I'll be selling parts of my custom rear build, namely all the piping and the oil scavenging system, custom moroso 7qt. pan included. Nothing's off the truck yet, though. I'll also probably be selling my 408 short block late summer or during the fall, after I've had a chance to go through it.
Rick's got a ton of pictures, but I'm not sure what's for public consumption. When I know, I'll post 'em up (or Rick will post what he wants).
I'm pretty excited about it -- now that I live up in the Northeast, temps are hardly my concern anymore and I want the bling visible (my turbos are polished and sit next to my axle??) and yummy.

Cool its a deal. Cutouts are on. They may be my favorite mod yet. You need to check them out when you have time. When is the new turbo install? I actually bugged Rick about a twin set up earlier this year.
