Found some pics of the old motor from my 85 T-Type.

I can't find any pics of it installed for some reason...

Was a stock 86 block with steel mains, forged pistons, lightly modded heads, small cam.
The intake was done by a guy in FL and used a stock intercooler with necks cut off it was gutted and completely redone. I was using a TA-54 on this combo. I don't remember where the headers/upipe came from (ATR?)

The car ran crappy ET's due to an open rear end but did a best MPH of 123 at ~22-23# of boost.

This was in the car a while till I decided to swap to a 86/7 setup.

Almost finished, going for the clean look. Need to shine up the fender wells and put some loom on the braided lines. Has come a long way though.

Painted the inner fender wells, wipers back on, covered the rest of the braided lines with loom.

Final touch was changing my red spark plugs wires to black. Pretty much all black and white now under the hood.

Had no underhood light before so put some LED strip lights on the hood. Lights it up ridiculous now at night now.
