Hi and thanks for stopping by and checking out the Silver Bullet. As you can see the new engine is sitting inside.

_>
I spent Most of the evening 12/26/02 putting together the Earls steel braided fuel line.. OUCH!. I will be finishing up on the fuel lines friday and then will install the B&M Tranny.

I am also using a B&M 3500 stall 10 in T/C. Next will come the exhaust and then we will be installing the turbo and the air to air intercooler .YEA!!!

As you can see I have the NOS Plate installed.. Ill keep everyone updated on the Silver Bullet and I would Like anyone to email me if they have any questions with there own install. Please give me a thumbs up rating to .. Thanks........

A lot of input from Charlie Stumpp at Stumpps Performance of Panama City, FL.
Thanks Charlie.. Also one of my biggest supporters and son-in-law, Danny Goff. This project would never got this far with out his help and support. Thanks Danny.....Kudos.

UPDATE 3/15/2003 ok I am going to have some newbie pics up. I ordered my turbo friday from turbonetics and it should be here in 2 weeks. I spent part of today installing my NOS. The silver bullet runs great for just motor. After all of the power mods are in then comes time for the rear suspension work. Thats going to be a fun project. Thanks for all that have stopped and took a look at my project S10 and I will be bringing more updates soon.

These are more recent pics. I did get my turbo , a T76, thats a big one. I have been working on my headers using weld els. More pics to come.

Here is a pic of me working on my turbo side header. All out of weld els. and here is a pic of my Turbonetics T76 turbo and wastegate. Gee I am looking fat in this pic. Too much of Ryans buffet.
