I was thinking it looks like it's sticking way up there, but there aren't any heads on the motor yet either... LOL

I'm so jealous. I can't swap into anything but a GT38R because my exhaust brake bolts up to my turbo, can't afford new turbo and new Exbrake. More pics

I'll add some better pictures in the next couple days... I just took those really quick with my Blackberry. I should be picking up my Cyl Heads on Friday and HOPEFULLY will have it ready to go in on Saturday... (I'm so excited... )

Well, I have updated my photos... A few more in there now... Going to put the Heads on today, and hopefully be finished building the MOTOR itself... I would have been a little farther along, but had some problems with the new Oil Pan (Different style inside and didn't clear the pickup, so had to Persuade it a little...)
Also just noticed that 1 of the 16 new lifters I bought is COMPLETELYL wrong, so have to go exchange it today...

And some more crappy photos...I torqued down the heads now... Rocker arms are on, pushrods as well of course... Had to put a log under the front of the motor to take some of the weight, I was a little worried that this engine stand might fold in half with the heads on...
