Awesome project. I was going to buy a 72 ss a couple of years ago and put an ls1 in it but bought my 01 instead. You're friend does some kick *** fab work!

Looks killer!! Your buddy has mad skills!!

Noahf

Thanks! The body is quite straight except for the 2 front fenders. I am going to try and have them corrected. If they are not repairable I will be on the look out for oem fenders. But they are getting a little hard to find. Once the car is running, I am going to work out all the suspension and brakes. Onces thats done I will get to body and paint it. Another good friend of mine is almost ready to paint his 62 caddy and we are building a paint booth. Should be a fun learning experience.

Thanks Doug.

Should have bought the 72. Would be an awesome daily driver. And thanks, he does awesome fab work.

Thanks clyde.

I ordered a huge garret intercooler core today. It should fit perfectly in front of the rad support. Being able to put the end tanks where we need them should allow for perfect fitment. I did go a little overkill on the intercooler. It says it will support up to 1k hp.

Havnt been able to get to the shop for any fab stuff. UPS delayed the shipment and so all the downpipe/intercooler pipping should be arriving today. Getting real close to having the hot/cold sides built. Then its on to the fuel side

looks great man.. i have a quick question for you did you fab up your trans crossmember? i know your car was already a 4 speed so im assuming if you fabbed up yours it would be diffrent from a auto crossmember?

i got a 72 and slapping in a 6 speed and just cant figure out what to do about one

Hey John,

yeah. We installed the motor and made mounts. Then mounted the tranny to the engine and bolted the motor mounts in and made the tranny cross member.

From my research, most people flip their oem crossmember around and use it with the slide plate motor mounts.

I wanted one piece solid mounts. Makes me feel secure about myself and motor.

Noahf

Woot!

Just received my intercooler core. Thing is heavy. Gonna look beautiful in the front of the care.



just need to order my BOV now and ill have everything for the hot/cold side of the turbo, with a 4 foot downpipe. Hopefully that will all be fabbed up by next weekend.

Next is fuel system. eeek.

Nice build!

Noahf

Thanks guys! It should stay cold as ice!

Hot side is almost all done! crossover is done, down pipe is built, just need waste gate connected.

Danny has amazing skills and is making this build a dream build. I cant wait to get it fired up and driving around.

Cherry build!!!

Noahf

Thanks cam.

Ordered cold side couples and tbolts. Also ordered Tial Q BOV w a 8mm spring. Thats what was recommended to me.

Crazy to think turbo build is almost done. Need injectors/fuel system next. hoping to buy all that by mid month and then get it all installed. Then hp tuners and it will be fired up!

Saw this in another thread so gonna create a list of things I still need so I have a checklist that I can slowly tackle.

1) Intake manifold - Arrived
2) Throttle body - on car
3) Fuel system - Fuel lines/Fuel pump, regulator + bypass (fuel lines/fuel pump ordered)
4) Injectors 80lbs ordered from FIC (great people to deal with)
5) Hptuners
6) Oil system including oil feed/return lines - ordered from improvedracing
7) Oil for initial start up
8) Boost controller - including all vacuum lines - ordered
9) Wideband - ordered
10) spark plugs + sparkplug wires
11) waterpump - ordered from SDPC on 4/7
12) ATI damper 917303 - ordered
13) fans/shroud - arrived
14) throttle cable/mechanism
15) knock sensors not going to run
16) 4" to 3" silicone adapter for intake

Wow. Creating a list reminds me of how much monies i still need to spend just to get it started. But at least I will be able to conquer this list, hopefully by months end.

Photo updates!

Ordered heaps of stuff and just waiting to get it all and installed. Hopefully running soon.

SVTKILR is up and Running calling out 408MARO aka Hulk lol

Noahf

what?

lots of updates but havnt uploaded many photos yet.

hot side is done, cold side is done. fuel tank is being modded and fuel lines are being ran. measured them all up Saturday and gonna finish it off next working day.

I had been planning on doing my own wire harness but after much thought + research into tooling + price + stress/headache I have decided to order a harness. Sadly it has a 6 week out time and thats going to be the date for getting the car fired. So in the mean time Ill be getting the rad support powder coated, the drive shaft made, and tackling the rear end.

Ill get photos up soon.
