Headed back out for another session and basically just kicked some bolts around, didn't get much done. Working by yourself is the pits, manuvering the turbo in place and trying to thread bolts in at the same time is impossible on this car. Aside from the transfer case, clutch slave and shifter linkage, everything else gave me problems: all the accessories, I seem to be short a bag of bolts or something because everything I try to put in has 3/4 bolts of 5/6 or something, its kinda insane. You can't be too organized I guess.
Got the turbo setup sorta refreshed: fresh o-rings, copper washers, and coolant hoses, and got the maifold coated:

Dane w/ lightsabre (fresh clutch disc & fluids in background):
Pics of the head: DB Performance job w/ porting, +1mm valves, and Supertech springs
Spaz helping bolt up trans:
Up she goes!
Shitty stuff? Slightly bent the lip of the oil pan while installing the motor. NBD will get it as flat as possible when I go to put the timing cover on. In the bussle of the project I skipped this stuipd little filter:
It goes in the block, from the top, under the head. FML. Trying to figure out if I need it or not, may have to yank the head back off. I would have yanked the head off immediately but brookdale already closed for the day.
All in all I'm pumped and just exhausted, so far to go but so close too. I'll update on the cam situation and such but until then its work and family time so the car will probably have to sit for a tish longer than I wanted it to.
