Perfect, just what I was looking for. I dropped my engine as low and far back as possible so I can't see me having any issues either.

Thank you very much.....time to got out in the garage and start cutting!

Thanks, I have made some progress but haven't had time for a whole update yet. I drove the car out of the garage to clean my shop. The very next day I pulled the headers and downpipes out to heatwrap them. I'm hoping to have everything back together this weekend so I can build the rest of the exhaust system. No x-pipe just 3" dual pipes with Pypes racepro mufflers.

Were you able to get the front bumper and grille back in the car after you got the intercooler in there? I am worried I will have to heavily modify things because of the pointed center on the 69 Chevelle.

Thanks Cody.
Chevelle is at the upholstery shop getting headliner and vinly top installed. I'll update this tread once I get her back, hopefully early next week.

Wow, I forgot about this tread for over a year!
So, After multiple upgrades to satisfy myself the Chevelle is finished other than some minor interior parts. Took the car to a local 1/8th track for some shake down passes.

On only 7lbs she managed to run a best of 6.73 @ 106 on a little 26x8.5 pro bracket radial.

Hopefully in the next couple days I'll have time to really update this tread and add some photos

Pretty slick build. What did you end up doing with the PS reservoir?
