1987 Olds 5.3L LS turbo swap

A bigger tool box is like having a bigger garage, a bigger storage shed, a bigger house, bigger closets, etc. Give it some time and it will be full. Your Snapon dealer is counting on it and he'll be ready to sell you top box, side cabinets, or upgrade. 🙂 Or I should say this is always what seems to happen to me lol.

Nice box and nice shop. And you're 100% spot on, that box will be around for 40+ years of service.

Thanks bro lol. And this just half of the shop lol. The other half is full of equipment and junk lol.

I thought about it....but left it alone lol! Figured somebody would post it!

I couldn't believe nobody did-so I had to....

Guys I ordered something really big for the cutlass today. Been looking and saving for a while now. Should be ready and at my door in next week or so. Being built to order takes a little extra time than summit 😉 In the mean time, I will be preparing the car for the arrival and installation of this piece. Also some plumbing and fun electrical stuff lol. Stay tuned...

Oh the anticipation....custom intercoolor maybe? Modded trans? Guess we all have to wait and see🙁

 

[GBodyscuffle]

Not quite lol. But those are good guess's though lol.

Dang....here's the other one....big purchase like a beefy 9" or S60 to hold the power under boost?

Nice wheels/tires are a big purchase too! If you hold it close until the unveil i understand...had to give it a go though lol!😕

You're on fire lol But I really want to hold out til it gets here and I can take some pictures lol.

Whew (wipes sweat from brow), glad that's somewhat over lol! To be sure i hadn't missed anything, i just went back through you're whole build thread to cross off anything lol! You got new front wheels already....only other big purchase is the rear.

If it's an M9, i will be a little jealous to be honest lol. One day i might upgrade, but i have one of the coveted 8.5" rears from a H/O in my 87 cutlass....needs all new guts though. Keep us posted brother, can't wait to see pics!

LOL It's not an M9, that was out of my price range sadly lol. But you will see it very soon. Whatever it is 😉 should be here in a week or so.

In the mean time I'm planning on doing some other things, installing gauges, straightening some wiring out, and disassembly of some stuff to get ready for the new thing i ordered lol. I've got some more turbo plumbing to do and installing the trans cooler. Just alot of small things. You guys will be the first to know when I have pics.
