Think I can see at least a few D24 motors in that upper picture...

Looking good, what will you be doing for a transmission in this? M46?

Yep, there is a few D24's there..
For now I will be using the M46, it's still shifting fine and holding up. The clutch on the other hand looked to be the weak link, it showed massive signs of wear and slippage.

I got the head studs torqued down, valve cover and modded oil pan on.

Engine is going in..

She's alive!
I was a little nervous starting it up for the first time with a NOS injection pump that's been sitting a few years, but she fired right up and idled ever so nicely..
A few more things to get done to the car before the show, but most of the hard work has been done..

The build continues with the new owner. He came out to my shop and we installed one of my 12mm built injection pumps. This is the first 12mm plunger/head that I have ran myself. After getting all adjusted I took it for a spin, oh WOW!! I would say it's at no more then 50% capacity, about 3 turns to even get to the fuel collar!

The future plans are a T5 transmission install and compound turbos! Hoping to see 300HP or more.

Sweet!

Going to have it at the XXX show? Looks like it's Feb 14 this year...

The owner is planning on intending the car show this year. The car is getting pretty quick, should be a heck a lot of fun with a T5 and compound turbos!

Installing a big intercooler.. that's Craig in the picture, the owner of the car cutting away to fit a intercooler from a 93 dodge d350 with the cummins.

It should get plenty of air flow.. picture of the passenger side.
