Interesting, so no notch for the a/c compressor?
What are the plans for the hot side?

I'd say great start thus far, keep us updated!

No notching the frame. The engine mounting brackets are from S&P. There is a lot of room between the compressor and frame




Im trying to make 4 into one headers going up into the turbos. And the DP running over top of the headers.

Thank - Ron

SFI bellhousings FTW when you're worring about exploding clutches on a turbo car!

Looks really good! Do you plan to put the ignition coils on the frame? How about exhaust clearance? I'm planning to run remote coils on my '71 Chevelle too but it's hard to find a good location for them, so they will probably end up on the firewall.

The coils are mounted on the frame! (on the engine crossmember) Nitrorocket gave me the idea (Thanks by the way!) The exhaust shouldnt be that close to them at all. And they will get quite a bit of cool air. Im running the round truck coils that came with my engine, so they are a little close to the lower control arm bolt. (but do clear) With the square coils you proabally have more room.



Thanks - Ron

Nice project. Seems like a alot of twin turbo Chevelle builds going on. Is that going to be the color of the frame? If so what color is the body going to be? Good luck

That is POR 15 sandable primer. The frame will be coated with a dark gray bedliner.
