Thanks man, I'm pretty stoked to be this close to having a driver again. If you need any tips or ideas on smoothing your wall, let me know

Thanks man, just about there

Seeing as the stock fan and shroud were going to be a bit of a chore to fit back in, I decided to harvest the electric fan from my nova. A brief once over revealed that there was a suitable void in between the intercooler and radiator, so the installation was set to begin. Pics:

And by the way, I did get curious at this point...when running at around 2500rpm the open hole on the left just about blew me away and the open hole on the right near swallowed my hand

Re: Parked Indefinite

I'm just about done with putting everything back together, just a few minor things left to figure out. I managed to take the thing for a maiden blast up the road today and it went alright I guess. Definitely have to get use to driving this old truck again, as she's pretty raw and barbaric compared to bone stock 95 chevy 2500 I've been driving lately. Seemed to run alright, but its going to need some tuning to take care of some bogs, hesitation, etc. I didn't get on it too much, but couldn't help myself from trying to spool the turbos up a little...man I love that sound! Felt pretty strong as soon as it started to make boost, can't wait to get 'er dialed in so I can push it some more. Anyways, I think I've rambled on enough, so here's a few pics as of today:
