Man, our builds are going to end up quite similar! Intercooler looks great, almost identical to mine, I am putting mine up under the dash too. Keep us updated, I love checking in and seeing progress, It is looking awesome and giving me hope!

Do you think you got enough intercooler???

Looking really good.. It looks like your throttle body is sitting just a couple inches lower than where mine was. you might have to modify the inlet pipe just a bit..

Let me know how it works out

What amount of boost are you planning to run?

Id also be curious to see what the IAT's are running.

more pics

one is of my new thicker plate above my oil filter for my BIGGER feed line

and one of my almost finished alternator bracket. you must use solid motor mounts w/ the way i made this one. (close clearances on the frame). it just needs to be ground down a little to make it a little more eye appealing

cant wait for the engine bay painting!!!!!!!

I know the feeling. Humping around a 70 plus pound piece of awkward metal gets old during mockup!

Looking good! Now you can see exactly how large that intercooler is! BTW, what are you going to do with those seat brackets? I am looking for some.
