Awesome build man. Saw your sig pic in another thread so dug this up. Any updates? Like the turbo setup. I'm running similar size on mine. Should give plenty of power for me for now (twin GT35R on a LSX 427).
Color on your car is awesome and engine bay is VERY clean. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Camaro-sutra. I spent a lot of time keeping everything neat and clean. The devil is in the details! I've made some good progress, its running and sounds amazing. I've got a video of the first start-up but its only 30 second long, wasn't worth posting yet. Holley EFI software was super easy and she started on the first try.

Finally an update!
I've been working on the Chevelle as much as possible and making good progress. I'm updating now before the holidays ruin the chance for more garage time. I've finished all the wiring except the headlights so far, sequential LED taillights too. I got the seats in hand now just need to make some bracket, the Procar rally seats match the factory door panels nicely too. Covan dash with carbon autometers installed. Vintage Air box installed just need to run heater and a/c lines to engine and compressor. I had to remove the 4l80E to install a TCI flexplate so I went ahead and installed a HD2 upgrade kit as well. Also ordered a TCI outlaw shifter and Derale remote mount trans cooler at the same time. I'm still aiming for late spring/early summer to be finished as long as I can keep feeding it money without the Mrs. finding out.

Looking great! I've got the 61/62 china GT35's as well that are slated to go onto a similar build (6.0 with PnP 243's instead of L92's) in a '96 Impala SS. Keep the pics ans updates coming!
Also, can you post some more detailed pics of the AC comp mounting?

Hey Ratical, the hood is a steel 2" cowl that has the factory style bracing under it. I notched the bracing for the intake before the car went to paint. I might have a photo of the underside of the hood, I'll check and post it up if you really want to see it. LMK. Oh and the paint color is Toyota speedway blue.
I'm getting ready to cut my hood for clearance of the Holley intake. Did you ever get a chance to find a picture of the bottom side on your hood?

It's hard to tell because the color blends so well, but it doesn't look like you had to take much out. Looks like you took out about 8 inches across of the bottom bracing and left about an inch high of the inner cowl pan?

Alright Ratical here you go.
I didn't have to cut that far into the hood because my engine is as low as possible with modified mounts and motor plates. The Holley oil pan is only 1/16 from the frame. The intake is clearanced only 1/2 inch around the hood.
