Here's some more pics of my new build
this is before polishing the valve covers
and after but I still gotta polish the alternator. God I hate polishing!!!!!
but that's the price I gotta pay lol
The engine now is pretty much assembled but it's not going into the truck until I decide what power adder I'm going to use I'm thinking twin turbos but I think I'm going to run with some clearance issues with the steering shaft and probably I have to eliminate the fender mud shield or whatever it's called. Or I can go with a procharger but I think it's more expensive than turbos but I don't know If I can retain the march performance brackets.
Does anybody know if I could use a bolt on turbo kit from a mustang with minor modification or hopefully none on the truck?

I have decided to go turbo.
Here's some pics of the long a$$ process that it's taking me.

The turbo it's a precision brand and it's capable of pushing 1200 horses
Here's the turbo header that it still needs some work to be done for the wastegate.
Here's a mock up of how is going to look like.
Sorry for the crappy pics. I took them from my cellphone

What are the specs on the turbo? Expected boost? Expected power? Planned Engine Management? Injectors/intake size? Intercooled?
You're running a 3550 aren't you?
Can't wait to see this thing, these kind of builds are irresistible to me. Good luck!

A/R Ratio
0.96
Inlet/Outlet Size
4"/3"
boost will be from -10psi to break in the engine then from 25 to 30 or more depending if I can handle it or not. engine management don't know yet. injector i got 42 lbs to start then i'll go up when i breakin the motor. intercooler is the going to be a problem for me due to space but I'll figure something out. And I'm running a TKO-500
