Parked Indefinite
Well here it sits. It's been my daily driver for the past couple years and I figured it's time to fix it up a little bit. My main goal is to do a twin turbo setup on it using a pair of holset hx35w's, but while it's off the road I plan to address the body and interior. I'm not sure how far I'll go with it but hopefully it doesn't snowball too much. Anyways, here's where it starts.

I managed to get the front clip off the truck today as well as the old turbo setup. Almost ready to start planning out how I will run the twin setup. Here's some pics of the progress ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Parked Indefinite
Twin turbos and 3 on the tree? That is definitely unique! Lol

Re: Parked Indefinite
My focus on the twin turbo aspect of this project was slightly derailed when I noticed somebody at the dump throwing away some decent looking bucket seat cores. Seeing as I am planning to do some sort of bucket seat setup, I figured I'd take 'em home. After looking them up they seem to be from a 69-70 mustang. Did a quick mock-up and they seem to have potential, what do you guys think?

Re: Parked Indefinite
Well, made a little headway on the project today. Managed to get the basic shape of my motor mount cut out. Came out alright, just need a little more practice with the plasma cutter I suppose. Anyways here's a couple pics:

Re: Parked Indefinite
Finished up the motor mount, now it's time to mount the turbos. Might brace it up a bit later on but it'll work fine for now.

Re: Parked Indefinite
The sheer lenth between the front mount and the trans mount puts too much stress on the bellhousing or trans case on automatics

Re: Parked Indefinite
Thanks!
It's going to replace the stock ones, should give me plenty of room to run the hot side piping with them out of the way |

Re: Parked Indefinite
Got a start on the headers. Stumbled upon this old set, and despite being rotten on the bottom, they're solid up top. So I cut off the excess and bolted the remainder to the head. They're going to work out pretty good
