What did you use for power steering hoses? And what steering box is in there. You going to have it at Back to the 50's again this year? I saw it last year, but you weren't around.

Awesome log manifold! What did you use to make the transition from the back two cylinders to the log?
the reducers are pipe reducers from NXP master Carr.co. industrial supply .the manifolds are steel not stainless I will have them coated when there done.

no steering box.just a rack from a dodge intrepid.modified of coarse.the power steering lines were made at a hyd. Truck parts shop.the a.n.adapters came from street and performance.hope this helps.
This is funny. I just spotted that supercharger forsale on craigslist today and then I come on here and click on this thread for the first time and wow theres that exact supercharger. Do you usually hit car craft? Id love to see this thing in person.
Last year is the first year that we missed car craft.went to brainered on the power cruise undress.we will be to both this year.hope to see ya at one.
So frusterating new radiator is sapose to be 26x19.shows up 25x18 and the core is 1.5 narrower than the one that I was replacing.now have to exchange this one and get a bigger one.the p/s pulley is a p.o.s. and does not fit for &$@!. But cbm said they will give me 20$ back for my troubles if I choose to keep it and machine the belt.to make it fit. I really hate this part.
Real bugger on the radiator and pulley.
I liked the look of the pulley and was going to buy one for the current project but skip that. Too bad $20 won't cover the machining costs, they just need to make it right and be done or take it back.

20$ was a kick in the shorts.I can make it work luckily . but if it was my company I would have done everything I could to make things right and I would not lead people to believe that it is a direct replacement. stay tuned for more Belair evolution.
Getting some work done on the hot piping.what a pain in the azz. Tight constrained area laying on the ground welding overhead. what could be better. Also working on the intercooler plans.hind side is easier to see when it is in your face.bought two inter coolers and I think I would have been better buying cores instead. ended up cutting both tanks off and going to have to make new ends for both stay tuned for more failure or success it could go either way.
All I can say is, you must be one patient guy! Wow at all of the work that has went into just the hotside alone. The piping looks great and everything is symmetrical. Awesome job!!!

Thanks I was in search of asymmetrical twins but this will have to do. I can't believe that nobody else make them except nelson racing. and the price was waayyy more than I could afford.

this is what it looks like from below more piping to come.
Getting a bit closer hope to get the wastegates cut in and the o2 bosses welded on this week and then the cool side!!!!!!!!!!!
OOOHHHHYYYAAAAAAA almost done with the hot piping!!! wastegates in and o2 bungs in just a couple of more welds to go.. I can not wait to get to the new core support.

design and fabricate new gas tank.
fabricate new fuel lines and return lines.
fabricate all new brake lines.

Thanks for the compliments .I have had the inner fenders off because of the way the supercharger was run .after experiencing how nasty the motor bay gets.I will be fabricating new ones.stay tuned for more to come.
