In the short term I want to get it running well as it has been sitting for a while, I picked up a new Carb, plugs, wires, etc. In the next month or so I plan on doing a Belltech 4/6 drop and wheels and tires.

I have always wanted to build a Turbo LS, so my eventual plan is to build a engine this winter and start the swap next spring.

The pics I have of the engine bay are not great, and its tore apart right now. Waiting on intake gaskets to show up before I can put it back together.

Looks good. I see the roll control. Do you know if the block has been punched out any?

As far as I know its a stock bottom end. It has a pretty decent cam and apparently the heads have been ported.

Build the bottom end and put the turbo on the big block instead :)
