I wish. The motor will be together... Maybe someone will let me borrow a pickup and I can put the engine on a stand in the back of the pickup. :)

I'll tell ya after I have it in my hands :) I just want to make sure it is 100% mine. The guy committed to a price, but I am always leery. It is local to me. but made by a BIG name. Stainless steel, awesome construction. And a awesome price.

Ok, then the other question I have: will they make any for the 8V engines? :)

That looks beautiful. I wish I would have done my collector that way. How is the turbo fitment with the firewall or do you not know yet??

That is AWESOME. The 3rd pic strongly resembles the ram's head emblem.

I don;t know if the person who made it would be willing to make one for a 8 valve application. They are about $900 new as I understand it.

I don't know yet, but this was designed specifically for a LARGE turbo on a neon without cutting the firewall. And neons engine bays are pretty tight.

I have some concerns, but I'll post pics as soon as I have it mounted with the holset. I think the firewall and K frame will be perfectly fine. Not sure about the PS because of the location. it may be a PITA. We'll see.

This totally blows my budget and any chance I may have had of getting the car together by SDAC.... but oh well.

Okay, Now that I have the manifold in my hands... The exhaust manifold was made by R/T ernie on the neons.org boards. This manifold goes for $850-1000 new, and I got mine as a STEAL. R/T ernie does still make manifolds, but he was banned because his products took so long to get to people. He may or may not make them for a 8 valve, I'll see if I can find his contact info.

Additionally, the guy I bought mine from has another just like mine, but set up for a external wastegate. He has to have $700 local or $750 shipped. I can give you his contact info if you want it.

Nice price! I'd pay about that for something similar in 8v external format...

Here she is... I dont think there will be much of a fitment issue withthe firewall as it tucks everything up in there. No idea about the K frame yet, but hey, it was designed for a neon, it should work.

Ya, you should be fine. I was thinking it mounted the other way around with the turbo on top. There is alot more room mounting it that way adn with the NVT350 you won't have to worry about the starter. Nice buy :thumb:

Yeah, now I just have to figure out how many NVT350's I need to stockpile :) I have even been thinking about buying the tools to rebuild them.
