block work getting done and ready in about 4 weeks (Busy time of the year for machine shop) . And well I removed the front bumper and thinking of cutting 2 big holes in the front for the inter-cooler (32x12x4) Just wondering if it would look right.. i will rework it so it won't look unfinished, I will probably add at least 3 inches of lip going toward ic.... It will be something like this but with an LT1 front bumper (Like to stick to the roots, and let everyone know it's an lt1 not an ls1)...






On a side note what do you think my LT1 will make to the wheels

This is my opinion,i designed this for your car,expect to make about 400-450hp

heres what i designed.I used a members car here,but he will never know.

also because you will be using a turbo,expect to get rid of the fog lights eventhough they look great.

Dont right with proper prep and paint, it would look good. I have seen a lot that are kinda hack jobs.

That lt1 bumper looks great I think I will go that route...

Will it have the heads and cam that you are saving for, or stock parts until then?

I will not run it until I have the heads and cam for it... I want to get my cr down to at least 9.0:1

done properly you should be able to lay down 500-540 at the wheels.

I saw a picture some where, but I can't find it again. But some guy routed out the recessed piece of his front bumper to expose his intercooler, it looked good.

EDIT: Found a better example:


Do this, but with a LT1 bumper, I think it should come out similarly. Good luck.

I guess they've filtered out pictures here at work so I can't see what you're posting. There's a guy in this section that's building a twin turbo car. He cut the front out on his Trans Am and it looks really good.
