Man we just don't have a lot of time to work on it. It is getting closer though. I think we're gonna pull the old motor this weekend then I'll get the engine bay cleaned up and ready.

Also on the agenda this weekend is coating the hot and cold sides and wrapping the hotside, drill and tap my pan for the drain fitting, install meth kit, install boost gauge and wideband...maybe, just maybe set the new motor in...maybe

Even when that's done its still got quite a ways to go. Turbo drain fitting never showed(pissed), I can't get ssavalanche to reply to me about send me the right cam, got to relocate the battery, redo my coolant lines, install shift kit, install aurburn locker...just a bunch of little stuff

As far as the size of the turbo, I don't really know. Its an ebay turbo. Looks to be decent size. Maybe a 67? It has a .91 or .96 A/R

As I recall from the original thread. they wanted to know if it was seated right and know the exact specs.
I guess he could go ahead and get the specs on the other springs and send them those.
