Sounds like a Good start Alan, and I'm really glad you chose Good rods to use in the build! (bad rods just wouldn't have made any sense :banghead:)

There was a nice black Masi last time I was there, I'm sure he could figure out how to get one in there.

Cant have that motor! But he has plenty and im welding up a Masi mani to fit that 46 Trim thats gonna be on the 2.5 for now. That will make it an easy swap for Dr. Jones when the car gets back to his place. 2.5 out,turbo off,bolt turbo on Masi,put new motor in! Winning!
Not sure why he posted pic of bad bearing race. Those r fun to get off without destroying btw. Here is the one on it now...

Re: SDAC 2016 Project RedBox
I'm looking forward to seeing the final product Alan, but Real men build log intake engines.
Just saying...
Re: SDAC 2016 Project RedBox
This should be a fun one to watch. Alan, make sure you sell this thing to me when you get bored with it in a few years. :eyebrows:

I'll add pics of the progress as I get them and as the project moves ahead.
This will be the nicest L body of all time.

So the RedBox project is picking up speed, powerplant mock ups, Intercooler options being explored, etc. Jackson and I talk on the phone so much it's like I have a second girlfriend Hey, how about you put some work hours in Bro:lol: Right now the focus is paint and body, I've been collecting just about every NOS component or trim part I can find(still need front corner lights and tail lights hint hint parts hoarders;)) The focus right now is body and paintwork and he's been sending update pics so I know it's moving along at a pretty good clip. Here's a few update pics... More to follow when I get them transferred from my phone.

Nice! This ones gonna be good!
Poor Omni hoods - always all dinged up from being slammed shut. 100 hours of work alone will go into that thing - every time you think you have it straight you realize that you made another ding sanding - they're so freakin flimsy!
Can't wait to see it completed.

A few updates to project RedBox, I've been searching all the dusty corners of the TM world for body and trim pieces and found a treasure trove of NOS stuff with a local guy that's no longer in the TM scene!!:eyebrows: He actually still has his well prepped SRT4 and a CSX-T but they just sit in his garage and he rarely comes to SoCal Applebees meets:(
The chassis is ready for and is being primed in the great white north of Wisconsin, not coincidentally the same shop where the very rare rear wiper delete and rear bumper delete factory options are being retrofitted;)
Re: SDAC 2016 Project RedBox
Love to see the progress!
Re: SDAC 2016 Project RedBox
Who needs a rear wiper and rear bumper?! Looking good!
