Thought I would post up some pics of my new build since I started working on it. Car is a 1976 Chevette that I picked up off a hippy kid for a few hundred bucks. I've done a bunch of LS swaps and always wanted to do a fly weight car with a crazy amount of power. Picked up a L33 shortblock with one bent rod for cheap, a set of 243's with one bent valve, a pair of On3 70/65 turbos and a used MS3 pro box from a drifters failed 1uz swap and a glide. So it's pretty much a bunch of junk screwed together into something that should be pretty fast. Goal is 800rwhp and keep it under 2300lbs. Here are some pics,

Factory weight with jack and spare removed

Firewall cut out, engine set back 10" from stock, ebay aluminum motor plate, flipped LS3 Corvette manifolds, Schedule 40 2 1/4" hotside, Professional products "typhoon" intake and the on3 70mm forward facing turbo's

Turbo inlet

Hood shut

That's as far as I am right now, next up is starting on the cage and the cooling system, more pics to come thanks for looking!

Subscribed. This is awesome. What are you gonna do as far as a rear end and rear suspension is concerned?

How is the casting on that intake? Mine looked like ****. I started with a pro comp knockoff though, so i'm curious how much better/worse the professional products casting is.

Dude, this is one of the baddest things I've ever seen. I've always liked old school stuff but this takes it to a whole other level. Most excited I've been over a build thread in a while..

Awesome.

And don't paint it.
I don't mind if you polish the turd (the colors under the hood are dope!), but don't paint it!

The car is going to have a narrowed 9" with 28" long S&W ladder bars and qa1 coilovers. My intake inside looks like it's been touched up alittle in that area with a die grinder, I don't plan on painting it, I have a shitty orange Pinto with a turbo 2.3l that runs 9.7's@137 that kinda matches the chevette. Here is a couple pics of the pinto



I also have the "Vanilla Gorilla" propane turbo LS truck on here, here is the link https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...ack-times.html


Here is the wheels that are going on the car 15x10 and 15x4 US indy mags, I'm trying to keep the outside look of the car as 70's as possible.

LIKE!!!! very cool, glad someone is doing this. I actually was going down this path and sold the project. Cant wait to see it done. Jegs has a 12pt cage for these cars BTW. I have a ton of pics on Chevette swaps. PM me your email if you're interested, I could email them to you.

Good luck!

Thanks, this car is going to be on straight methanol also, I'm going to modify the intake for a 16 injector setup. I got the hole opened up last night for the rad, it's a dual pass scirocco type rad I got used off a buddy, just need to weld on some mounting tabs and a couple AN outlets.
