Are you only running a 14" Pusher fan to cool off the radiator through the intercooler? So it has to travel through the intercooler first before reaching the radiator? Nice build by the way! Im doing my 68 camaro right now, a little different tho.

There are two more fans on the backside of the radiator as well.

If the car cools fine on the puller fans on the radiator that pusher in front of the ic is just going to hurt. The build looks nice.

How so? Is it going to reduce the airflow somehow having the intercooler fan?

Finally drove out of the garage yesterday morning. Hopefully the car makes it over to Woodward. I think it's going on the dyno next week.

What headers did you use on this build? have you driven it much yet to see how it cools?Is that about the biggest turbo that will fit in that position or could you possibly a t-6 flanged 85 or 88 in there? Thanks

Those are Stainless Works headers. The owner cruised it around some this past weekend. It seems to be ok, but not great. Hovered around 215.

You could fit a bigger turbo in there for sure. It's tight, but the engine is sitting probably 2 inches further forward than it needs to.

If I had it to do again, I'd probably get some VA Speed headers due to their shorter length. Then you could put the turbo in the front passenger side.
