I feel like such a slacker. I read Gary D's CSX thread, an realized he bought his car 3 weeks after me, and he's already made a ton more progress...

Radiators are a pain to package in nicely.
Intercooler and BOV pipe came today! I'll take some pics and put them up tomorrow...

Slowly making progress. Got the 2.2 T1 block on the stand last night, threw a head, intake, exhaust and turbo on it to mock-up the intercooler. The lower IC hose will need some thinking, but the top works out perfect. The BOV adapter pipe I bought definitely will NOT fit at all. So, that will go on the shelf for future use.
There's a lot of scale in the water jackets. So, I may CLR it. Or maybe not. I'm a little concerned about dripping it on the cylinder bores which appear to be fresh. The deck, too. Glad I popped the freeze plugs out, though. The center rear freeze plug had the original plug stuck in there. Not sure why they didn't pull it out. It was easy to get. I'm sure it would have hurt the cooling performance if I had left it in there.
I'll take some pics this weekend. Going to strip the black enamel off the block and get it ready for the 'proper' Mopar Hemi orange paint; new freeze plugs, etc. so I can start assembling it.
Lower IC from T2 turbo to 600hp Frozen boost IC, your "350hp" i/c might need a little more length in the middle
That's a 2.0-2.5 90 degree and a 2.5-3.0 90 degree, had to shave the 2.5" ends down to get it to fit, but it fits perfect now.
Wrong Project Log...

Doh. Wrong project. That should be in my lebaron log
Either way it looks like you've got a pile of spare washers now.
LOL, trying to figure out what Mr Lincoln meant? The regular picture looks like its covered in powered metal,

Working on clearing the decks.
Last time i bought some, inner tie rods were like $7 on Rockauto.
Dont push the red button.You hear me?
I just bought one locally from orielys for $20. I dropped the sway bar and was able to get a wrench through that hole to change it. Much easier then pulling the whole rack.
