Hey Jared, I'm bumping your thread homie! Been hearing about your project for a while but forget to check it out because I never see or hear from you anymore since you moved to Flo. Hope things are going well, the car is looking good.

Just a quick update, I know it's been a while. Car is basically done except for the speedo(which is installed but not working, needs fixed), and the hood, which I'm building currently. New pics coming ASAP!

Here's an update. I know it's been a while, but life did get in the way of this build for a while.
Anyway, I had to redo the cooling system because the engine sits higher than the radiator in the car. Also, haven't had time to fix the speedo yet. I am back on the hood. Trying to make the air cleaners fit under a hood of some sort.

Awesome build!!! I have a QX56 and I love the 5.6. I could only imagine it being a much lighter vehicle. I like where your going with the hood, very subtle!!! I always wished I would have done this swap on my old G.
Keep it up!!! Looking forward to a video with the V-8 rumble!

Very nice! Looks real good. That -20 hose doesnt like to bend very much. I just had to put together two -20 lines for my radiator. The -20 doesnt like to bend. Kinks much easier than any other size braided line.

Two steps forward and one step back. I need a degree more negative camber in the RF.

Very cool! Only thing I would have done is use Mil-Spec connectors for the harness. Other than that good job!
