I have, i am currently re-doing the hotside and putting the air and heat back in. Youll have to regester, but heres a link with pics to the first go-round.

I did this mainly as a learning experience, and to work out the bugs. The headers i made are pretty nice and work good (for sale BTW), but i half-assed the crossover and stuff cause i ran out of cash at the time.
This time im using a truck manifold on the drivers side, since im switching to a manual rack and pinion i have room now, and made the pass log. Everything fits great and it is a seriously wicked car. With the 6.0L and a stock S400 turbo (only $550 brand new) is a good match. It was making about 640-660hp at the crank and wasnt even intercooled! So heres a link to my new progress for this fall.

Also i am pulling the engine/trans for paint once im done fabbing, switching to rack and pinion, adding a rediculously huge front mount (5" core!) and doing rod bolts and valvesprings. This should let me live at 600-650whp for this year when i do some motor work next winter. Hope this helps and check my photobucket account as i will be adding more pics as i progress on the build
