Finally got around to getting some stuff done over the holdiday's. Here's some updated pics.
Block with new JAM ACL coated main bearings
New crank ready to go in
Crank in the block with ARP main studs and girdle torq'd down
Couple pistons fit to the rods and ready to go in the block
Couple pistons in the block
Rotating assembly is done
OIl pump and front cover are on
Oil pick up and windage tray bolted down
Oil pan cinched down
AMS/TMS headstuds in the block and OEM headgasket ready for some head
Head torq'd down and you can see some of the port work on the exhaust side of the head
JUN 272's are installed along with JAM non tick lifters. AMS intake manifold, fuel rail, and Precision 1600cc injectors. HKS timing belt as well
Exhaust manifold, turbo, wastegate installed for mockup
Intake manifold velocity stacks

Finally got back on the car the past weekend.
Got the clutch bolted up to the motor. Triple-disc carbon Exedy w/ heavy duty pressure plate (200#'s of extra clamping force).
Next the tranny was mounted and scatter shield installed, damn shield is a PIA and I don't suggest doing it with the motor and trans in the car.
Here it is sitting in the car pretty much done and ready to go to Tim @ V&P for some fab work. Wiring harness is routed. Turbo and manifold are mounted. Intake manifold, T/B, and throttle cable are installed. Transfercase and driveshaft installed. Only items left are the axles, varous pulleys/belt, front motor mount, and plumbing the oil/water/boost lines.
The valve cover is for mock up as the other is being powder coated at the moment.

What is the benifit of having the turbo the opposite direction? Will the intake be on the opposite side? How will you deal with the heat coming from the down pipe off of the turbo affecting the small radiator?
Different, I like. Good luck!
