Lol no I couldn't. It's what I should've done in the first place. If my painter would quit dragging his feet, I wouldn't have had all of this free time to sit around and think about it :lol:

Haha nice. There's a guy a couple of towns over with a 72 with rockwells. I'm not sure exactly how much lift it has, but I can walk under the truck and I'm 6'1".

Well I've been collecting parts for the past month or so. But I'm getting close to having everything I need for the swap to bags.

Started tearing everything apart yesterday to test fit all the new PB stuff.

Everything is mocked up and blown back apart at the powder coater.

Can you explain this turbo manifold. How does it have 2 holes? One for the turbo and i see another one on the left side. Whats the story on that?

The hole with tape on it is for the waste gate. The hole towards the back of the motor is for your hot side piping. A v band will come off of that and connect to the driver side exhaust manifold.

OHH, thats brilliant...

No issues with not having them merge at the turbo? I really like your idea better.

Thats the main reason I went with this one. It made the hot side piping so much easier than having to merge them. Keeps it nice and tidy.

I love the rusted rockers in the rendering!

How much did that run you if you don't mind sharing?
