Sweet ride! Nice numbers too! I can only imagine with more boost What kind of headers did you use?

F-body QTP long tubes. I'm looking to put a smaller pulley to get me to 6 or 7 lbs... and then through a small cam in.

Personally don't care for the wheels but the rest of the car is effing cool dude. I always loved manual conversions on Impala SS's and you took it several steps further, NICE!

any cuttin required for those headers? My L92 is going in this summer and I definitly want long tubes. I cant believe there are no kits yet for the 90's b-body. They are becoming very popular.

very cool setup

2 thing I see....

watch your tune with those open cutouts since it will most likely be much leaner then when close

the filter setup is going to be bad with the hood closed sucking lots of hot air direct off the radiator/fans

throw some more boost at that bad boy and get 500+

Very sweet swap. The Impala top covers and Vette calipers are a nice touch.

Yes I did. As for the long tubes I did have to notch the frame to get them in.
Street and Performance sells alot of stuff for the b-body conversion. They have a oil pan, motor mounts and headers now. They just don't advertise it well.

Thats a very nice and clean set-up you got there. Everything looks top notch.

I agree though, time to move the battery and get the filter over there somewhere. Get the smaller pulley on there and go put down 500+.

Again, very nice work there.
