Need to buy a spot blaster to clean up the block some for paint and then I will stuff her into the engine bay. I will post a picture of that when I get there, then I will have to see if my radiator/intercooler choice is going to work.

Ya, cause the price of diesel is what is going to break the budget on this project.

Plus, think of how much more efficient that Big Block would have been.

Silly you.

Oh no doubt. As my signature on my profile says

"Sometimes money isn't an issue, sometimes it is. Sometimes time isnt an issue, sometimes it is. Never at the same time do they align where they both aren't an issue."

Well I haven’t posted many updates but I decided to jump off the deep end and purchased a compound turbo kit from pusher intakes. Not sure how long till it arrives but we shall see if it fits with ease or will I need a big fcking hammer.

Technically it is a Chevsuzu engine, right?

I do believe that Isuzu had way more to do with the design than GM did. The style of bracketry, hardware, wire looming, etc is all Isuzu type and not GM. At least with the '07 and older medium duty ones I've messed with.
