I am working on about the same set up you are doing but mine is going to be rear mounted,I was going to go with bigger cubes but decided to spend money other places like you but this is not my first turbo project either,can not wait to see your build get under way you got some nice parts already!:-D

This is a BUDGET build per say!
Trying to stay around $4500.00. I am working my own Holley 850 but may need to get a real Blow-thru and figure out how to install the "Crutch" setup in it. We will see what happens. That will be the expensive part. I got a good deal on the Turbo w/upgrades and additional 5" flange, 5" to 4" reducer that I may not use and the 5"V-band clamp for $775 shipped. Forced Inductions wants $920 for just the upgraded turbo not including shipping. I have scored some nice parts Cheap!! I have spent $500 for the new front end pieces and disc conversion.

Going tomorrow to pick up some 2"x2" square and gonna rework the 73 K-frame. May try to install a Flaming River in it and swap the spindles from left to right, right to left. Haven't researched it much tho!!

Should be a bunch of parts show tomorrow. Ups tracking showed my S480 is in Houston!! Yeeepeee!

Still waiting on the Rods to show up so I can drop them to the machinist for balancing. He is ordering the pistons and already has the 383 forged crank and the girdle..

Can't do any fabbing until the block is here since it is a B and I am removing the RB..
