No I used the 91tm heads. 10:1 would have been too much with boost. Had I not been doing the turbo I would have put the 95tm heads on for sure.

By the looks of things I'll be adding a couple of injectors to the intake tube. I've already installed a Hobbs switch into the intake that will be used to control them.

Ya I have the speedo thing figured out. I've got a 20T 18T and a 16T driven gear in my tool box. Once the engine is back in I'll swap out the current gear for the 18T.

i did a little checking and stock 3.55 is a 19 tooth in both my 91's.

4.10 and 33's i read maybe 1 mph faster than actual at 60mph on several radars.you should try the 20 tooth rather than winding up reading 2-3 mph faster than actual with an 18t.

let me know how it works anyway.

Thanks rick I'll try the 20 and see where that gets me. If it's not good I can dump it down to the 18. It's an easy change regardless.

Engine is back in and starting to connect the stock parts. I'm planning to do something different with the exhaust. I didn't like the setup I had going.

Would it save you room to re-route the upper radiator hose to in front of the alternator instead of behind like it does from the factory?

No need. I bent the water neck up a bit and the hose is still above the compressor. The intake pipe is going to take up space infront of the alternator.:D

Cool, I didn't know if you needed the space there. I was seeing it going out of the radiator, to the right, then down, over to the inlet tube, and then right & up.

Keep the pictures coming.

I've got a bunch of new parts and I need to get some other parts. Going to have to hit up my buddies at the muffler shop for some more bent tube for the intake. I've got a good majority of the parts now to finish it up. Just need to get over this damn cold and get back out into the shop.
