Made some head way today I'm pretty happy with the turbo location except I would have liked to move it back to the firewall about 2". In order to do that I would have to te make the down bar and that is not in the plans at this point.
Custom duct work behind the mostly open 64 grille is the current answer. The hood will
Close once I remove a small portion of one of the fiberglass reinforcements. I may need to add the reinforcement farther back at some point. I do want to put a steel hood on at some point it likely will need a blister or a SD scoop over the throttle body and elbow but again not the current plan.
Looks like the vacuum pump and alternator will fit in the locations they were at when NA.
Have the driver side hot side brainstormed to the passenger side, now just need to configure the passenger side merge and the turbo connection. What I had purchased is not going to wok so I will be doing some surfing trying to find what I have in my melon.
