Alright then. She's back together on the workbench, for as far as I want to take it. Once I can get some assistance in the shop from the nephew and brother, we can stuff it back in and hook up the fuel and electric to it! Progress

Awesome, keep up the good work, cant wait to see it all come together.
Good quality is getting harder and harder to find.

I'm pretty determined to NOT grenade my motor from detonation.... again, this time. It's just getting too expensive 
The NA motor was pretty happy with the timing set at 32 degrees BTDC. Now that I have proper turbo heads and a much tighter deck, I have backed NA/vacuum timing to 30 degrees BTDC. After some insight, I have decided to set a target goal for boost pressure of 10 pounds... eventually. At this point, I have set my boost retard timing down to 17 degrees BTDC at 10 pounds.
It's a lot of math, but my timing map might make more sense?
Am I missing anything glaring? Hints or suggestions?

Update: I spent boxing day afternoon in the shop, and with my wife's help, we got the motor down off the workbench and onto the new lift cart. We were also able to get the motor reinstalled into the buggy. Now it's details and tuning for the new turbo and heads.
Be well

Closer yet!
The "structural " portion is complete. It's not going to fall out. The oil system is complete, minus the oil filter. The carb and intake is complete and linkage/cable is done. Fuel line and turbo dump need finishing and plug in the A/F sensor.

It's in and running! Success! And this time it appears to be oil tight.
I set it back to the jetting that Car Craft put in it, rather than the jets i thought it wanted, the timing is set to 10 or 12 or something at crank and idle, advancing to 30 degrees all in by 2500 rpm. Now, mind you, it probably never got to operating temperature this morning, but I could still watch it go lean at idle and stall if I didn't catch it with the throttle. This is what caused all this heads, turbo swap etc. I'll keep you updated if I get the chance to drive it about.
