If you'll notice, it has upper control arms in the first picture (not struts...) My guess it is a monte carlo.

THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT. My bet is that this header setup will fit in just about any SBC car. the hight is good & they dont hang over to far so that they wont hit any fender wells. they could probably come in a bit & even if they did, it is nothing that a little 5 Lb motivator could not fix.

Now all he has to do is to get someone like Stahl, Headman, Lemon, Hooker, etc, to make these in mass quantities to get the cost down to reasonable.

I was thinking the same, or possibly late 2nd gen camaro (80 or so).

Youd be really pushing it to fit that under the hood of a thirdgen. I know that intake and elbow wont fit under a stock hood and those turbos look to sit about the same height.

how about with a little cowl hood? It does not look to be "that" much higher than the valve covers. the turbo's could come down some for certain. maybe a slight dip down with the tubes & then bring them back up to the collector?

I believe 89ProchargedROC is correct, it's likely a Regal or GN. One of the fasttrack performance site admins is in my local club and runs a 9sec twin turbo Buick.

That is a super wide engine bay. Also, that looks like the battery tray in the back left of the first picture. My guess is that it is a 55-57 Chevy.

Look at all the wiring. That's going to be an insane PITA to clean up.

I agree about the wiring, another thing is routing the intercooler tubes. You're talking about 2 good size tubes that would have to fit in there somewhere.

As a former G body owner, and by looking at the wiper motor location, and the shape of the heater box, its a G body. Which variant? No one knows...

i do know that in the engine picture the motor mounts are moroso solids for thirdgens. i remember them because you have to buy two different part #'s to get the upper and lower mounts.
