Project Turbo 5.3 is a go

So after my Friday dyno failure I started taking apart the car Saturday morning. I got most everything off within a week and made for sale ads on several forums and craigslist. As some stuff sold I would by some stuff. Here is my first score. I got a 2002 5.3 with 116k miles on it for $350. Complete minus the coil packs and fancy headers. I did get the stock exhaust with will be great for the turbo set up I am going to build.
