Fabrication / LS turbo hot side....
« on: August 23 2012, 07:35:16 PM »
Working on a 304 ss hot side, using truck manifolds. The set up is being test fitted in a G body, [85 El Camino]. The first build will be with the t4 flange.
I'm using the truck engine ft accessories, such as water pump, balancer, idler, and a Vette alt/ps mount with spacers. [Most conversions are truck engines, anyway.] That way, the x over pipe doesn't have to be crowed into the block and under the truck ps mount. [Too tite w/ the steer gear, and it looks better, and reduces sharp bends.] This design can be bent in 1 piece, then trimmed, split flanges and a flex joint added, if desired.
A pic of what's done, so far.
