Re: My $3,500 353sbc 1000hp build ( Cheap Thrills )

I read on another thread about your plumbing for the intercooler, that which involved a merge into the single inlet on the intercooler?
Im doing basically the same exact build and I have an intercooler with one inlet, and one outlet......
Can you give more details and pics of your set up? It would be greatly appreciated!

Re: My $3,500 353sbc 1000hp build ( Cheap Thrills )

if u want the simple fix go to summit racing and buy a flowmaster merge.
i did mine that hard way and made my own merge pipe out of 2 pieces of 2.5 inch 45* bend tubing

its hard to explain but basicly i cut the 2.5 inch pipes in half on the stright section , and then put 2 halfs together to make it one pipe with 2 inlets

ull get what i mean when i post up the pictures form my photobucket
give me an hour or 2 and ill get those posted

Re: My $3,500 353sbc 1000hp build ( Cheap Thrills )

anyways my car is back on the ground and running. i had some video but after we finished the car we took the dirtbikes out and of course i mounted up my video camera , near the end of the ride we go for a hill climb , buddy makes it no problem on his 450 ,so me and my other buddy look at each other and i gun it , get about halfway up and get into the loose stuff and took a hard hit . they said i was out for about a min .
anyways the hit destroyed my brand new video camera

heres a few pics i took with my cell gota get the pics took with his camera from the top of the mountians and post those up ,

had to give the car and the bikes a bath , its resting place is no longer on the lift yay

Hey project89, I have been looking for a color for my 70 Chevelle and I came across your thread with the black with blue pearl that was on the nova. Your thread ended without any updated pics. Any chance you have some current pics. I'd love to see how it turned out and if you don't mind could you give the recipe. Thanks for your help.
