I had metal tubing with rubber couplers before and swapped to -20. I probably could have got away with -16, but found a good deal on the -20 stuff. It's cheap insurance.

Stock bottom end for now. Not sure on power. When pistons and rods go in it should make all of it.

Long over due update, and a few details I didn't add before.

The intercooler came with 3/4" water fittings. I drilled those out and replaced them with 1" to match the water pump and have a little better flow thru the core.

Kind of tricky getting this big I/C in the drill press.




I made some brackets to hold the water lines out of stainless tube I had laying around. Cut it in half and weld together.




The exhaust is dual 3.5" aluminum.





Made some hooks to uses OE style rubber hangers.




I started putting the factory core support back in and decided it was to bulky. So I cut the front of the frame off and made the core support out of tube chromoly and aluminum.

Loving this build. What size/gauge aluminum tube did you use for that core support?
