my fe5 control arms, ss/sc brakes, ans 225/40/18 eagle gt's set me back a little bit on the progress. zzp sent me one of the wrong lines but other then that so far so good. only a couple things left to do. i have to drill the block for the oil return and then drill the coolant line on the head for the lnf lines to work. its a lot of work but i hope its worth it.

UPDATE: i purchased an oil feed flange from vulcan and an 18" oil drain hose (have to use an oil feed flange drilled out on the lnf turbo. Matt at ZZP has been a pretty big help so far he is looking for the coolant feed line for me. i have to get the charge piping now and an LNF thermostat housing and all is gravy (beside the tune, still have to order it)

update.... the car is parked in the carport waiting to be torn down. i have to wait on parts to come in so i can really get going and get it done... i have to buy a thermostat housing and a tune yet but everything else is either ready to go on or on its way here. scheduled to start on it wednesday its kinda sad to know its no longer n/a

i stopped counting lol but like 2g now with the tune and i bought the cable so i can be a dealer
i think i finally got the injectors in, the harness done, and the sparkplugs in and the entire exhaust removed so i can get the rear coolant tube and t stat housing off so i can switch it out and drill/tap it. a lot of parts are coming tomorrow for me

get that damn oil pan off and start cleaning all the gunk off lol.
Also use a T bit for the oil feed galley plug. I think it is a t44. It is better than an alen key. better fit but if u dont have them use an alen key just be careful. U can also get vise grips around the edge of the galley plug while using an alen key. much easier in my experience

umm there are bolts on each side of the coolant pipe. take all the bolts out on the right side and take all the bolts out on the left side by thermostate. wiggle and that bitch should come out. the tab takes the main pipe out of the right side plate and the pipe will pull out of the thermostat housing
