I made a bunch of changes to it and kinda changed direction. Instead of this being a garage queen with little use I plan on driving it a LOT!
I built the headers of course then fabbed up a 304 Stainless exhaust system for it. 1st one but gotta learn some time . .
Also quite visible is the Gear Vendors OverDrive unit. THat should really help at cruising speeds to help tame the 482" FE

Because of wheel fitment issues I pulled the dropped beams, installed the stock ones so I could install my dream wheel which were custom made. Because I could only get wheels with bolt pattern smaller than the stock 5 x 5.5 I opted for better brakes too. These busy AZ freeways are not kind to not being able to stop.

I went with 14" 6 Piston power brakes on all 4 corners. Bolt pattern was switched to 5 x 4.5 so I could use the wheel I wanted.
Note the new rotor inside a stock wheel. Not much room for the caliper!
I had the 73-79 Disc brakes up front but they too were simply too wide (2" per side) for proper wheel fitment

The 540" Twin Turbo Boss9 build:
Have pretty much what's needed to finish including the heavy wall stainless to build the Turbo Manifolds/Headers
Awaiting final machine work on block and balancing. Should be done hopefully this week.
Few component pics

Couldn't help but notice the odd placement of the vacuum advance can. I assume that you are using crank triggered / coil on plug ignition and the vacuum advance can is for vacuum variable cam timing?
On a serious note...Really like those tall pent roof Mercury valve covers, as well as everything else in the pictures. Congratulations on your daughters wedding. Three weeks is over 500 hours. Plenty of time.

In reality there is only 50 minutes per day avail for 23 more days. Less week days. So it’s simply not happening. It will need to be the ‘66 no paint ranger or gasp: the ‘56 Chevy as it’s only thing close to done.

All the goodies are inside of primary unit.
Plan is to run a 1000 HP mechanical pump that will feed a reservoir with a hidden high pressure pump inside. So fuel to mechanical pump then in line to EFI pump then line to TB’s. Return line back to reservoir then a return line back to tank from reservoir.
Most difficult part will Be fuel system. Rest is plug n play. Turn key, start engine after inputting base stuff like cu in, desired idle etc.

the vacuum advance is there to keep projected oil pressure on target. It will be run by the pcm thru the primary side vacuum circuit of the secondary throttle body.
