63 belair ls conversion,supercharged!
What did you use for power steering hoses? And what steering box is in there. You going to have it at Back to the 50's again this year? I saw it last year, but you weren't around.
no steering box.just a rack from a dodge intrepid.modified of coarse.the power steering lines were made at a hyd. Truck parts shop.the a.n.adapters came from street and performance.hope this helps.
Last year is the first year that we missed car craft.went to brainered on the power cruise undress.we will be to both this year.hope to see ya at one.

So frusterating new radiator is sapose to be 26x19.shows up 25x18 and the core is 1.5 narrower than the one that I was replacing.now have to exchange this one and get a bigger one.the p/s pulley is a p.o.s. and does not fit for &$@!. But cbm said they will give me 20$ back for my troubles if I choose to keep it and machine the belt.to make it fit. I really hate this part.
Real bugger on the radiator and pulley.
I liked the look of the pulley and was going to buy one for the current project but skip that. Too bad $20 won't cover the machining costs, they just need to make it right and be done or take it back.

Verdad Gallardo 20$ was a kick in the shorts.I can make it work luckily . but if it was my company I would have done everything I could to make things right and I would not lead people to believe that it is a direct replacement. stay tuned for more Belair evolution.
Getting some work done on the hot piping.what a pain in the azz. Tight constrained area laying on the ground welding overhead. what could be better. Also working on the intercooler plans.hind side is easier to see when it is in your face.bought two inter coolers and I think I would have been better buying cores instead. ended up cutting both tanks off and going to have to make new ends for both stay tuned for more failure or success it could go either way.
All I can say is, you must be one patient guy! Wow at all of the work that has went into just the hotside alone. The piping looks great and everything is symmetrical. Awesome job!!!
Thanks for the interest. hope to continue with the entertainment. I could either succeed or fail it could go either way.
more hot side piping and welding.this sucks and I am sick of crawling around on the ground everything is so frickin tight in every direction I just hope nothing hits anywhere.hope to get my missing v band clamps and start cutting in the wastegates tomorrow.
this is what it looks like from below more piping to come.
Getting a bit closer hope to get the wastegates cut in and the o2 bosses welded on this week and then the cool side!!!!!!!!!!!
