LT1 turbo setup

LT1 Hotparts and a JGS wastegate for sale. A quick rundown of the specs of the hotparts:

stock LT1 cast manifolds
2.5" mild steel cross over pipe
3" DP with wastegate dump
Comes with JGS 40mm wastegate with I THINK a 6psi spring

I built most of this kit almost a year ago and finished the wastegate portion 4 months ago. The person I built it for cant seem to come up with the money for the remaining balance. I am going to see this kit outright so I can give him back his deposit. This was the 2nd kit I ever made, so some of the looks of the welds arent the prettiest. I ground alot of them down.

This is a race type setup. You loose your A/C and you will DEFINITELY have to stand the radiator up vertical and go with different fans. This setup should have no problem supporting 600rwhp with a T76 and built motor, and I wouldnt be surprised if you saw 700rwhp with an M6 tranny. You may have to make a dent on the DP where it passes by the steering shaft. You will probably have to delete your oil cooler and plug the hole on the water pump. If you dont want to plug the hole, leave the nipple in, slip on a short piece of hose and plug the other side with a bolt or something. Here are some pics of the build. I am making a jig this weekend to pressure test it for leaks and grind down some welds. Here are some old pics I took awhile ago. The price is EDIT $1250 shipped to your door. Updated pics this weekend. Any questions please email me at jrbellas95z28@yahoo.com as my inbox fills up quick.

Nice setup but too bad it wasn't set up for AC and also didn't want to move the radiator.

Any future plans on making a set up that will accomodate the AC and not having to stand the radiator up vertically?

Keep me posted and good luck on the sale!

This one keeps A/C and doesnt need to stand the radiator up. It may need aftermarket slimer fans, but thats it.:

If you could send me some information on the second kit. I'm not interested in keeping my A/C, but I like the idea of headers vice keeping my stock manifolds for a turbo setup. What fuel system and anything else I would need to run or what do you offer with the kit...pricing also.

Thank you,
