96 CE 402 LSx 88mm Turbo finished engine pics
Pretty much wrapped up the engine on the 96 Collectors edition vette I have been working on (too long.) Forged 402 iron block with a T6 88mm turbo. All work done by in my garage including 1/8" thick custom Stainless exhaust "manifolds." Goes up to get dyno'd next week.
and a short video of it idling

I bet it will put out some pretty strong number with the T6 turbo.

incredible. I don't recall the purpose of this build. Was this strictly built as a "track car"? I would assume so judging by the relatively small radiator fan? Let us know!
the radiator is definately sick though! Curious to know the specs?

thanks guys,....its a street/ strip deal...mostly strip I guess. I did take it to two car shows today and ti drives pretty well. It was warm out here and the car pretty much runs around 185* I drove it about 30 minutes on the interstate on the way home just now and it did fine.
Here are some pics of the car itself from today

That is one nice ride!! Im look forward to seeing the numbers, both dyno, and track times. Also, I too would love to hear more about the rear end you have in the car. Thanks for sharing with us.

Here are a few more pics from today.
Rear is a 12 bolt with a 4-link, came from Jesse.
Radiator is tilted forward at 28* and so far in the HEAT the car runs right at 180-185 and I havent even made the little airdam piece I plan on making, I am more than impressed with how it cools. I do notice that if you drive around town at real slow speeds for an extended period of time it can warm up to around 195 but that still isnt bad with that big heat generator sitting in the middle of the engine compartment.
