You have to have one to work on a dodge or ford. Hey, I have a great idea, lets make it so the entire grill lifts up when you open the hood, no reason it would be a bad idea to try and stand on a 2 inch bumper while leaning over exposed radiators and coolers.

Excuse the mess. My Dad's shop needs a cleaning but he's busying doing ground work for a new building.

It's ready to go James I just have to get the Batmowheel installed then I'll send it your way. Let me know what you think once you get it.
I spend alot of time cleaning the up pipe ports as far as the die grinder would go, I'm very happy with how it turned out. I really wish the the turbo & pedestal were separate so I could do a complete pedestal port/polish as well as some of the turbo. I can't have everything though :D

I'm trying and as a mater of fact I'm going to shut down this shop after the next few jobs because he keys saying he doesn'tt have time to do the trans and I'm going to shut down the shop so we WILL have time.

Built trans 1st then I'll take it and get it dyno and then turbo swap and then back to the dyno for back to back results.Sorry for the delay Russ.

It's ok I'm just giving you a hard time :D.
I'm curious to see if there's as much gain with a Garrett as there is with the IHI.
