i am waiting for coworker to weld bungs on the radiator, when i get that back (prob this weekend) is sets off a cascade of crap i can do after that
after its back in, hopefully the electric water pump will mount and hose route should be good.
electric fans can go on radiator and i can finish fab on the charge pipe, i need to come off the turbo and angle pretty sharp to clear the electric fans. i bough a cheap cast 3.5" 90 and cut it down to a 30, but its so porous i think its just going to turn to liquid if i try welding to compressor housing, but ive got a silicone 30 that i can use instead and prob will.
after the charge pipe is in i can lay out the waste gates and get them mounted, will prob just be dumped out the bottom for now.
ordered stuff to finish up ac lines, ditching the factory suction line all together, just doesnt work out good.
i had the injectors cleaned, i should prob just throw them in and get rolling but the longer it sits, theres a better chance im going to go ahead and get some larger ones. along with new fuel pump. just havent pulled trigger on them yet cause what i have will atleast get me moving.

Plenty of room
Coming along nicely. 
I’m really surprised you haven’t upgraded the valve covers since the rest of that engine bay looks so badass.

ive got some aftermarket gloss black ones, but they use a rope style gasket not oem type and i cant seem to find the right ones. no provisions for coils on them - which i may not be able to mount coils back on stock ones with these up/forward headers anyway

Eh piddle ****** around... I looked like hell for the male connector to be able to put on these fans and plug into factory harness. And I thought these ones I bought was them : delphi gt 620 series or whatever. Ordered male and female ends so I put it on the truck harness end. Rated at 45 amps or somethinglike that
By elongating the slots to mount the fans on one I got another 1/2in or so for the turbo compressor outlet. The shroud doesn't cover the core completely so I pretty much just offset all the gap to one side. leaves a little bit of the radiator core (1" maybe) uncovered.

Time to relocate the coils anyway to complete that million dollar look.
