Its almost done!!

I finally got my block back on the 18th this month, Had a kid born on the 19th, so I got 2 weeks off of work. I've been pounding on the car trying to get done. The exhaust is all done, as well as the intake. Gotta get a belt and a few hoses and I'm in business! Let me know what ya think

Nice work! Can't wait to see the results.
The intercooler wouldn't fit flipped around?

If I ever want more intercooler I'll design it differently. I'll be welding the next one... I've been practicing on aluminum sheetmetal

Look up under cobra head elbows. The small ones I used are actually for remote filter locations for a 2 barrel carb. They only carry the 2.5 inch and 3 inch elbows. You can email them for larger ones.

Headers were TIG welded with a Lincoln 185Pro. Most of the downpipes I MIGed. I don't have a band saw, only a port-a-band, so my cuts aren't always perfectly square. It's easier to fill in small gaps with the MIG
