MID12sSSS

"The G". I too am familiar with this. I changed my build only 4k miles after I finished my mp112. LOL. I feel your pain. Hp is addicting and it's hard to say enough is enough.

Interesting... Didn't know there was a difference! Good to know!

I'll be in Wisconsin for the next two weeks. Would love to see the truck. Maybe go for a rip! Whose Ferrari?

This Friday?! I'm flying out this Friday and would love a new magazine to read on the plane!

I have a TBSS steering wheel. Fits just fine. And love the perforated leather! They're hard to find though. I had to "borrow" one from a TBSS traded into our dealership

HAHAHAHAHA Goddamn it Randy! Had to dig up the botfly video. I'm sure you just made several people puke. I saw it a long time ago and refuse to watch it again.

Came across this vid while on an endless journey of viewing related video after related video on youtube. Thought you guys would get a kick out of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hsoXGYjgwM

Can't wait for more pics!!!!

10-1 compression, 20+ psi, E85... Good call here I'm aiming for 20psi on 10-1 myself. Only, our fuel quality up here is pretty poor. Gonna have to invest in some methanol or 110. Lol. Glad you're gonna give the build thread a shot. We drool over builds like this. I appreciate you sharing.

Great video Matt! I bet its much more fun to drive! 6psi ain't bad for starters. Pulley to 10psi and get a set of 80s Sounds great too! Love that blower whine. Hopefully I'll be able to cruise the highwys of anchorage here before too long.

^^X2 BUILD THREAD!!!

Great job Randy! Looks good man! I don't have an inspection plate on my 80e yet. Guess ill have to whack off that piece too if I install one. This truck is a beast man! Great work!

Looks great dude! People are gonna drool at the car shows. That motor looks badass! Only thing that's gonna make it better is that massive front mount turbo that will be spoolin next to it. The icing on the cake. Thing is gonna be insanely mean! I'll be back in 2weeks and the 3 of us are gonna have to buckle down and get shit done! Would be nice to get one cruise in before snowfall.

I just figured it'd be a win win. Better recoop some money than just having it sit on a shelf. And I'm sure Steve wouldn't mind getting a killer deal on a turbo set up. Lol ;)

ATI is cheaper. And the material is stronger. But with billet aluminum, whether it be rims or whatever, it's gonna be more expensive. They're all cut from one piece aluminum. They're very light, they look good... But 8rib is an 8rib. I think next time I wouldn't spend the $1000 on a 8 rib. I'd probably buy a used ATI kit and put the money elsewhere. But, the billet does look good under the hood.

I think this is a good idea. Piece together a turbo kit for Steve. That and the spray would be insane!

Goddamn! Great looking truck man! Thanks for the pics.

I've always done it one a lift But when I do my 85e, I'll be on the floor of my garage! It's gonna be interesting!

I don't see why not. Maybe someone else can chime in?

I can take pics of my headers when I get home? They aren't installed. But that way you'll know the o2 bungs are in the same spot. I know mine fit though. It's tight, but they fit. The sensor is a pain to get in, and im sure my wires are bent at a 90. Lol. Be sure to put your wideband on the drivers side. Get the passenger in and leave it alone. Here's the only pic I have of the passenger side header at the moment. That's my OLD build.

Hmm.. I don't have any helpful pictures from that angle to compare, and right now I just have a longblock under my hood. No exhaust or anything... Itll be awhile yet before I do.. Im sure someone else has got to have a set of ARH's??? Sorry I couldn't be much help..

Theres always spray paint.

I believe there are 8 bolts. There are 9 holes in the bell housing, but the upper right bell housing bolt (when looking from underneath the trans) doesn't exist. The hole exists in the bell housing, but our blocks aren't tapped for it. Also the fasteners up top are actually studs, because they also act as engine grounds and they also hold the fuel line bracket. I would use a combination of extensions and wobbly sockets. And like said above, the upper-most bolt can be a pain in the ass... Last resort. remove the intake to access this bolt. And the lines pop right out of the transmission. Theres a special tool for these clips, but a pick will work just fine. Pick out the little clips, and the line pulls straight out. Just don't lose the clips. This is very easy to do as they tend to go flying when removed.

Sounds like you're speaking from experience?

Man.... Absolutely insane.. You've got more patience than I do!
