love this formula... I've seen 3 or 4 cars that I think are best so far, and this is one of them. I might need to get in on this...

Re: GM HIGH TECH is looking for YOU!!
Have to pull the blower, so an extra 30-45 mins. Still a fraction of what youd spend on a SBC plug change in a 3rd gen

Re: GM HIGH TECH is looking for YOU!!
Is it because of the plug location on a gen1 sbc?

Re: GM HIGH TECH is looking for YOU!!
Yeah changing plugs on an LS is so easy, no headers obscuring the plug.
Blowers do make everything better, and an intercooler to make changing plugs even easier ahum. Working on this is a PITA, everything goes together so tight, it's literally millimeters between components.

Re: GM HIGH TECH is looking for YOU!!
Pocket can chime in, but the eaton style blowers like that are self contained, meaning they don't necesarily have to be in place of the intake manifold. He made a custom bracket setup that holds the blower and has an intake duct under it which runs into a front mount intercooler and then into the engine. Def a cool setup and probably one of the only times you'll see one mounted like that lol. Thats some fab skills!

Re: GM HIGH TECH is looking for YOU!!
Its not photoshopped
I redesigned how it fits, so it becomes a remote mounted unit. I have a build thread in the LTx/LSx forum going into detail how I did it, and the last setup. Same design, smaller blower, smaller engine

Here's something kind of cool. These are the two LS swapped cars me and my dad built (although he sold the coupe just a few months ago after we finished it).
These are more recent anyway...

Hey Nick (BlueZee28) - you can't get in the magazine twice!
For everyone posting up engine bays, we need to see the whole car too or else we can't consider it for readers rides!

Re: GM HIGH TECH is looking for YOU!!
You've guys with Firebirds did fantastic work....on RUST FREE cars, but my trans needs a medic, exhaust had done broke, the tie rods and gaskets all have issues, and that's just the mechanics, but back in 1998!!??
Check out the archival photos.

Selling the car this week, and at worst, someone will buy it just for the TPI engine and scrap the ASC convertible shell?!?

Chill on the bickering in this thread.
92 BBC Z - if you read through the thread you'll notice that Justin is not active in it, except to post once and awhile he is looking for cars. I wouldn't expect an answer from him in this thread.
