I like the gray color though, still has a little "class" on the interior which is a 180* look from the exterior that I am going for.

Awesome! I'm glad to see you got these now. As far as the casting, I'll take a look at mine and see what I come up with.

Yea, let me know what is on yours. I know BJ's had a "J" stamped on his. I doubt there is any difference in the rods because they are likely a manufacture date/code

The ones with the U are useless and the ones with the T are for you to go turbo. lol I dunno but looks like your gonna do this build right.

I just checked my rods and one side of the engine has the rod castings "F"-"E"-"F", and the other side "E"-"E"-"F"

I would bet it is a manufacture date than. I know when I worked for Toro (yes I made mowers for a couple years lol), we had letter stampings which was a year reference. No worries though, parts are slowly being collected so eventually I will get it built lol

**M-Rod** · 11-23-2009, 05:58 PM

It must be. Possibly progressing through the alphabet as the years went on maybe?

Damn, our cars would look soooo much sexier with black dash!!

**Ivory8g** · 11-24-2009, 10:10 AM

The possiibility sounds great, and the noise from these turbos will make the car sound like a damn freight train going down the road lol. I won't know for sure until I get the engine mounted in the car for mock up if I can squeeze the turbo into the rear bank area or not...but we will see.

Dude I wish i could get one of your guys compressor housings to fit my 6052!!!! Dude you might have to go with a smaller turbo for the rear bank. Hmmm the turbo might fit but my worry is the pipe routing bro. Nothing is impossible with a good plan and time and money of course. Gawd your car seriously is going to sound like a semi just while cruising WTF.
