3" from the collectos to the turbo. Ron has been talking about making a 2 1/2 for me to test. It may perform better the way I am currently setup but later with a bigger turbo and solid roller moving alot more exhaust I think the 3" I have will be my best bet. My block is on it's way to Kurt Urban, I need to get motivated and finish the engine bay. Cold weather has been getting me down. I was having some cooling issues last year and went to a bigger radiator. Now I can use two fans and I made a nice shroud. Afco 27.5 X 16 double pass.

I would think that shrouding the front of the radiator (pusher setup) is a bad idea. Also, it appears that the shroud is right up against the radiator.

The shroud is over a quarter inch off the core. The core is offset in from the tank seam. Those fans are 2200 cfm each. I test ran it and checked it with my manameter the airflow is very even. Last year I could only fit one fan on with no shroud. The airflowed only where the fan was, by using the shroud I am using the whole radiator, 4400 CFM is an assload of air flow.

got the engine back
As you can see in the first picture it is a Gm factory block 5.3 litre. ERL did there magic on the block, Brian Nutter @ wiesco made a great set of pistons and KURT URBAN turned it into a 427 long block. I have the 6 bolt block but couldnt afford a new set of 6 bolt heads this year.
Got the engine bay painted saturday and have been moving right along on the reassembly of the car
