Default SC470TT will be Alive shortly!

Guys,

My shortblock will soon see some fuel and ignition after 2 years of hibernation. My heads are being work on right now along with oversized valves and custom cams and will be ready in two to three weeks or so if everything goes smoothly. Last week I picked up a 1995 SC400 with 227K miles and the motor will be coming out soon to make room for the 4.7 Tundra block. Here is my plan.

1. N/A 470 in SC400 for a while for break in

2. Install my twin turbo and other basic conversion and run low boost like 5-7 psi

3. When money is little better, then I will get a standalone, complete fuel system and a stronger tranny to handle big hp.

My estimation would be 4-5 weeks from now we will see the beast breathing.

Yeah... My wife gave me a hard time about having 4 cars. So, I had release on poisonous snake in order to get my SC. It was a struggled, but now The Rock is Back! I was going to get my car painted, 97 body kit, lower and 19s" but that have to wait. No show for now... but all go.... No V160... Most likely TH400 or similar GM trannies. I know alot of you guys been waiting for a long time and its the time.

I wonder if it will start being called a "Frankenstein Swap" like the Honda CRV motor in the Civic.

I only have one turbo. JVG Motorsports scam my other turbo. Its a long story but just stay away from them. I build the headers with one turbo and I cut the two pictures out and paste them together. This is how it suppose look when done. JVG Motorsports is scamming company run by immature and irresponible teenagers.

I have been following cowboybebops build on supra forums, and wondered how long it would be til I saw something similar in an sc! I cannot wait to see the end result!

My heart stopped for a second when i read, "SC470 will be Alive shortly"
I thought this thread was on a upcoming 3rd gen SC.

But anyways, cant wait to see this baby up and running.
