Time for some updates. I had JMF weld on a cast elbow since my Miller tig welder is not set up in the garage yet. I also built a completely new hotpipe, it is currently just tacked together and I am waiting on the stainless TiAL bov flange. Here are some pics:

The truck runs, started it up a week ago. I do have some leaks that need to be address, but the trans seems to be working properly and it does not leak now. I am running a temporary gm maf draw-through until I can finish the speed density setup.Here are some pics of it when I pulled it out of the garage:
