LOL only part left to check would be for the 3spd and 5spd guys and tweak accordingly. _________________ Owner of the raddest 3500 plenum!

I remembered we even had to get a slim fan for Loner's turbo headers, and #2 had to go around the other side of the collector location. Wasn't even thinking about the radiator hose. Amazing how similar the last front looked like yours (except they fed a turbo lol)... _________________ Under Construction: 3.4/3500 hybrid, 11.5:SCR, custom cam, iron head alt/AC, no P/S, twin t04e turbos w/ 38mm external gates, 7.625" posi rear w/disk brakes 3.45:1 ratio, 1000hp Aeromotive fuel pump.

Yes, yes we do I ripped them apart and changed all three primaries, much happier with this design... _________________ Under Construction: 3.4/3500 hybrid, 11.5:SCR, custom cam, iron head alt/AC, no P/S, twin t04e turbos w/ 38mm external gates, 7.625" posi rear w/disk brakes 3.45:1 ratio, 1000hp Aeromotive fuel pump.

I know it's taking some time, but here's another sneak peak... Loner said he will make the trip here so we can get the prototype set test-fitted on an L-body (Corsica at that), so we are going to be starting with the tightest GM engine bay and expand from there. Any J-Bodies in the area? -john _________________ Under Construction: 3.4/3500 hybrid, 11.5:SCR, custom cam, iron head alt/AC, no P/S, twin t04e turbos w/ 38mm external gates, 7.625" posi rear w/disk brakes 3.45:1 ratio, 1000hp Aeromotive fuel pump.
