The intake is not completed
The chassis is not complete as it will have a full roll cage etc.
Wheels are CCW
17x11 315 tire-front
12.5x17 335 tire-rear

Have worked very hard on car the last month to get to this stage

Looking good. What suspension is that?

On the same note, what body are you putting on it? I love the IDA TBs.

Yes it is the Kinsler manifold, with ls1/6 ports instead of C5R ports

However it is no longer the C5-r manifold as Katech begin making their own to run on their engines.

Body will have to be custom fabricated out of aluminum, or maby fiberglass.

Will have a le-mans race car type look to it.

Tube is all 1020 DOM ASTM 5
I am using three sizes
1 5/8 Diameter .095 wall
1 DIameter.083 wall
5/8 Diameter .065 wall

Nothing is fully welded yet, I am putting 4 tac welds on each connection so i can easily break them apart if needed.

The whole thing will be TIG welded, none of that ugly MIG.

Putting in roll cage hoop tomarrow.


Does anyone have the basic dimentions of a C5 Corvette windshield.
I am going to use lexan but It would help if someone could give me the distance across the windshield and from top to bottom as well.


Thanks guys
