Merry Christmas to me!

Started piecing it together. Don't mind the scratches, I had to hold it with pliers. It's a VERY tight fit. Extremely hard to tighten!

A lot easier I assume. I spent so much time trying to make the hard frankenline fit and turns out it sits just crooked enough on the turbo side for oil to leak past. So I'm done with hard lines. Atleast this way once I put the holset in all I need is a longer SS braided line because I'll have a custom manifold that sits about the same spot as the rsi headers. 


Hopefully the return line was the only leak that needs fixing. The oil pan is leaking a bit but nothing worth fixing yet. Especially because I'm about to buy another motor and build it. So the b21ft will only be in for another 5 months I assume. Maybe a little longer. It depends on my funds

I’ll bring back a dead thread! Nice car, I’ve always wanted a 240!
