Yes, just take the passenger and put it on the driver side, and visa versa. The head design and bolt pattern on the manifolds are symmetrical

 

Yup the beauty of siamese cylinder heads, similarly the heads will on either side of the engine.

 

Looks good man, can't wait to see it run.

Very nice work... Is there enough room for the Tstat housing? Or does the turbo just appear to be too close?
Yes, the thermostat housing is getting modified with a custom neck.

 

I see the advantage of twin wg but have never seen someone run twin bov on a single turbo setup what's the advantage there?
I got a great deal on 2, so I ran 2 lol

 

Great work! Can't wait to finally see this thing done, an LSx IS300 would be nasty, but im a little biased as i really like is300s. Should call it the LS300/LSx300.

Thank you sir.

I would imagine it should be in the mid 600's through the auto. Thats pretty common from what I have seen on ls1tech so far with similar built setups. We have an 88mm that should be here in October to start testing with. So by winter if we need to help get more power out of the combo, that should take him into serious power territory :-)

Heres a quick pic I snapped tonight at MooreSpeed. We had to re make the coldside intercooler pipe due to fan clearance on the rad. O well, few more hours of work and she'll be complete

I also had to run some custom heim joints on the sway bar due to un noticed hotside piping clearances

Looks great, was that a custom radiator being made?

 

Yes, a Bell core with custom end tanks by Jon Moore. His skills always amaze me :fuckyeah:

 

It's gotta feel great to fire up the engine!!! Congratulations on another goal accomplished.

 

Yes it does! Thank you sir
