This will be one ultimate SW20 for the history books I think...
What sort of exhaust system will you be running on this?

Total custom setup running from the V6 out thru to a quad 3" pipe set up - two each side.  The "girth to match the wide body", in tristan's parlance.. :)

"Have patterned up the engine mount adapter block and sent the drawing to the machine shop. Hopefully that comes back soon"
 

 
Starting to look nice :)

Hey guys - sorry for my lack pf updates!  Tristan has undergonea staff change which put pressure on the completion date, originally due to be early June, htough now expetced to be mid-September, with Marcus now in tow (ex-Porsche and Bentley mechanic);
 
SO, to the updates!!
 
Thus far:
 
 
Currently we have:
 
Fitted motor, modified exhaust manifolds, intake manifold etc to suit, fitted intercooler, fabricated intake pipes, 90% wired in engine computer. These are some of the most major and time consuming things out the way
 
outstandings are:
Fit driveline components (driveshafts etc), connect remaining hoses and fill fluids
Wire in gauges and finish off remaining engine computer electronics
General engine bay finish-off tidbits
Fabricate exhaust system
Dyno tuning
Air conditioner line adaption
 

 
Also, whilst she's in there I'm having TRD sway bars and full suspension set up installed, a brake system check and balance, some cosmetic bits (TRD steering wheel, TRD dash mount gauges in three-gang pod) and some clearancing camber/castor fiddling to make her perfect. :)  Can't bl**dy wait...
 
Some pics then....
Engine Mount:

 
V6 turbo installed, though turbo still only in mock up/dress rehearsal;  will be cleaned and spruced prior to full shebang...

 
Looking forward to it now like, though have been a lot more delayed than I would have otherwise liked,  I trust Tristan and the delays were  unavoidable as I understand it, so here we go...
