Foxer Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Some great work here ... but that engine is out of this world! I just love all that plumbing!
Altered Visions Customs Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 this is the start of the motor glued the halves together and had to modify the oil pan for clearence the other pics are of the motor n frame in the truck n the pieces i started with for the twin turbo setup
Altered Visions Customs Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 Some great work here ... but that engine is out of this world! I just love all that plumbing! Thanks man i appreciate it,I have over a hundred hrs in the motor so far and still have some pieces to make for it but i wanted something wild and thats what i got lol in the beginning it was just going to be a clean simple truck but she had her way and turned into this monster she is now
Skydime Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 This thing is sick! I love it. I'm not a member there but, aren't you documenting this over on Lay It Low as well? It's so much easier to follow current builds on here with the chosen format.

Altered Visions Customs Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 Not my style but Awesome work!! Thank you I appreciate the kind words
Altered Visions Customs Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 this is how i the exhaust headers for the turbos it was a challenge to get them all the same length but i got it done. When i started it i was trying to make each pipe out of one piece of styrene tubing but found that cutting it in different lengths,making the bends then marking n gluing them together was a lot easier n looks better
Altered Visions Customs Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 and the other header,mock up in truck, and turbos mounted ended up changing the postion of the drivers side turbo a lil bit for clearence
Altered Visions Customs Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 Man the plumbing on that engine is just unreal! Thank you,I assure you it is real

Altered Visions Customs Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 the rims I made are directional, with a matching steering wheel. The brakes I made out of a set of pegusus disc brakes and a set I got from Brian at Hack Shack Resins he also supplied the air-filters on the motor as well as casted my rim masters so i could have a whole set without making all four the lips for the rims I will be making on my lathe soon as well as some other goodies for this build
