Default 62 Impala+LS1+turbo

I woke up one saturday I had this

and by friday I had this.



Nothing spectacular but it's a decent start.
MP-T70
edelbrock rails
42lb injectors
255lph pump (have a second going in)
WB O2
turbonetics gate.
-6 AN lines
Aero FPR
I welded a -10an fitting to the front timing cover for a return and the filter port for a -4an feed.
small front mount
boost gauge
HP tuners
I have coming new pushrods and springs.
I plan to build a forged bottom end, 4L80 and a 9" rearend, so I can thrash this car, but until then, it's light boost and not beating on it too hard. I also will probably set it up as a duel fuel. I have E-85 a minute fromt he shop.

Any and all comments welcome. I understand that not all will like it, and that's ok.

Looks pretty cool. Injectors might be a wee bit small to do anything though.

Nice build, looks like a great start. I bet you get tons of weird looks when you spool that thing up and get some BOV noise comin from the classic cruiser

Well, I planned on using them for now, since I am only boostin 6 to 7 psi. Then when I do the motor build I'll put some big injectors in it. So the 42's should be fine for high 400's. I hope. Plus it'll be a little easier to get tuned by not jumping off the deep end with the injectors. I've tuned a few cars, mostly import stuff so I am new to HPtuners.
This is by no means a drag car, but don't think I won't rip the **** out of it. :lol.
