GXL -> T2 Conversion Try #2 Update

Alright, figured I would let anyone who was following my conversion know of how things are going currently. The rebuild is complete, and after an usual issue with a bad pressure plate, I ended up getting an ACT S/S, and ordered a TurboXS type S bov to finish up the conversion with. I'll supply pictures tomorrow once I fire it up again. I can't wait to take it around the block Anyway, just wanted to let any of you who followed the progress see how it's going. I shall be praying to the rotary gods that nothing breaks during tomorrow's trial run #2. Wish me luck!

Picture time before the big startup! Don't mind the N/A hood on there, I just set it on there so I could push the car outside, it won't be staying
