I did 'not' want to go SPEC, but after RAM Clutches were unable to create a dual organic for me, but there really was no other supposedly daily drivable alternative.

Yeah, forced induction. Get it running for now then build a motor on the side to switch in. Would like around 550hp

It's looking good, Marc.
I still haven't done anything with mine, other than look at it, and move it around. With a bit of luck, that will change in the next few weeks.

This is so true, it's comical. I started a Ford V10 engine rebuild in the summer and have yet to get past torqueing the crank main caps. The thing just gets moved from one side of the shop to the other.

You guys are going to finish way before I do. Too many unforeseen roadblocks that have nothing to do with the build. First surgery Dec. 23., but I will enjoy watching you guys from the sidelines for a few months. Looking good!

Daryl, good luck on your surgery
Don't count on me finishing soon... I've got numerous little issues to deal with on mine, clutch position sensor bracket, build/figure out hall effect gear position sensor, voltage output sensor to alternator circuit, PWM controlled fan integration, can bus to speedo/tach integration, stainless coolant tube to cut then mandrel then reweld, vacuum actuated boost control actuator and bracket, twin oem boost and waste gate controllers to single turbo integration, DBW throttle pedal bracket, etc..etc..etc... and a metric butt ton of wiring..... not to mention hp tuner calibration...[This message has been edited by msweldon (edited 12-08-2020).]

Mine got moved to D-ville, and then to a tiny garage, two counties away. The next move will be into my shop, if it ever gets completed. (Trusses were supposed to be here, today. But they're not.)

Yeah. There's that. But what are you going to do after lunch? 
.

Sorry. Had to. You're treading uncharted territory. I salute you. Seriously.
=================================
Darryl... I hope your surgery goes well.
Please jump in when you can.
You've done some really nice work. Looking forward to seeing more.
But take care of yourself.

Trying to get as much done as I can before my surgery, so I went to the Pull-n-Save to get AC lines. This is what I found. Yes, I bought them anyway, but i gotta ask, is punching holes in A/C lines standard procedure? All of the cars i checked there had similar holes.

Not surprised at all. I think they vent any "dangerous chemical" before the car is placed in the yard.
I've also heard of them punching gas tanks, and removing catalytic converters.
Your tax dollars at work.

Gives me an excuse to buy an AC hose crimper. Never pass up an opportunity to get a new tool.
