Just to update what's in the works.
Car has been off the road since Jan, with a melted piston or two
'04 block is being built;
Wiseco 81.5mm coated pistons, 147mm H-Beam rods from RSI.
Enem Y21 cams with old style (non-VVT) gears. Custom adjustable gears being developed.
'04 (Gates, Kevlar) T/belt, tensioner, etc being used.
KU SM flywheel & Spec stg. III full face clutch going in.
M66 AWD Gripper LSD scheduled to be ordered (after specifications are clarified w/Gripper), thru RSI also.
New secondary can to replace my copper one - top seam split when CC pressure went through the roof after piston failure
Precison PTE 6262 BB turbo going in
all pipes reworked, oil feed & water lines to Tial, -4 AN SS braided lines.
Revised (again) DP with Tial MVR44
Airbox remade in aluminum - 7" OD tube, tapered 1/2" to 6.5" @ nose end. Will have side & front inlet. Front inlet picks up below header panel, into cut out front bumper bar.
custom 180amp reverse-rotation alternator, new Bosch starter
larger opening front cover & bumper bar (pickup from bodyshop Mon.)
Used 3 XC grilles to fabricate new setup
WI reservoir in left frame rail
Evolve Hood Vents
VEMS in the works - this will install after the motor is run in on TTCop
Engine harnesses have been prepped to swap over when ready
Side & Torque Engine mounts have been poly -filled
NRG torque damper will also go in
CJ's Delrin Subframe mounts also going in.
Hopefully motor all comes together this coming week.

everything finally installed about 2 weeks ago.
But, new Spec clutch let loose on a WOT run (after 400+ miles motor & clutch run-in), revved to 9600 (according to logs), and now have bent valve on #3, metal particles in oil, and a clutch that won't disengage. Tear down by the weekend, hopefully. More info in the ongoing thread
