BAD ASS,love it...I hope you post a video of her running when finished?I wanted to Turbo mine this year but holding off until I get a Dart block,maybe next year..Again,bad ass build man..
 
Finished the crossover today minus the wastegate and started working on the downpipe. Shits gonna be tight. I need to modify the radiator top hose neck. It almost hits the exhaust housing and getting the hose on will be a big no go. I'm thinking a 90 degree elbow will do the trick

I've been slacking on this thread. Since its been a little warmer I've made a little bit of progress. Made the downpipe, and decided to just run it out the passenger side fender. Picked up another fender extension so in case I decide to change the exhaust I can cover the hole in the fender with the original piece.

I screwed up on the exit out the DP, I measure without the fender support bracket installed so now its too short :doh: No big deal though I will just add a piece to it. and re-cut the angle. I'm sure its gonna be stupid loud, and might have to put a short muffler on the end. Vibrant makes a 5" and 9" long ones so I should have enough room for one of those.

Yeah, I actually took mine to a local rad shop and had the neck moved up and had them 45 it towards the thermostat housing and it still only gives me about 1/4-1/2". Im not sure if thats close enough to fry the radiator hose or not. I'm also concerned that I wont be able to fit a blanket on the turbo with it that close. A dual pass with inlet/outlet both on the drivers side would solve my problem but I really dont want to spend another $200 on this damn thing.

I used a dual pass rad that had the in and out on the same side. I got a good deal on EBAY on a new C&R....I think it was about $200 for the rad.

I'm gonna go with a dual pass with the outlets on the pass side and move the lower opening up a few inches. Same thing here though..... Another 200 I didn't want to spend
 
Northern Radiator makes them for $200. I just really want to make this one work for now. I'm gonna clock the neck a little bit more and hopefully it will give me some more room. Did that CR fit in the factory core support ok Tim? I see you have it tucked down and in a bit more then a factory radiator would sit

I cut off the lower core support and replaced with a tubular chrome moly peice that Dave Zimmerman made me. I was able to put the rad in tucked below the upper core support and then mock up the lower support before I welded for a perfect fit. It gave me an additional 2-3 inches of room from the rad to the motor.
