Update Pictures
 
Here are the latest pictures of the project, which is finally coming together.
The rwd conversion is 95% complete and the car is now having the engine/transmission/turbo mounts fabricated.










This shows the side exhaust which was necessary because of the rear axle and floor height.





These are of the custom crankshaft which has finally arrived.

I am trying to retain as much of the stock components/looks as I can, even if it's just some small things.

Here are some more pictures from the shop doing the RWD conversion. These ones are taken during the project and actually proceed the last batch of pictures that I posted.











More pics of the sexy side exhaust

Here are the latest pictures of my project. I took these last weekend when I was in Toronto visiting the car.
I should have new pictures later next week as the turbo piping, intake manifold/intercooler, bellhousing and engine should all be completed very soon.

The first four are a comparison of two SS/SC's


Here are the two turbos side by side

Yes. We are going to have to go to a cowl hood. The design should be set later this week. It will follow the stock hood lines.

That has got to be one of the coolest projects that I have seen for a car, how much money has gone into this project that your doing? Those turbos you bought must have cost you a pretty penny.
