66 Chevelle LS7 Protouring in Sweden

[warhawkchevelle]

Well hello!
Decided to register at your fine page and show what Im building to get some help with issues that may occur.

I have been building a Pro Street 63 Impala for several years, but a couple of years ago I decided a want a cruiser car so I found a 66 chevelle from you guys and shipped it to Sweden.

Drove it over the summer 2014 when I got it home and registered it over here. Found some small issues I wanted to fix, the heater was broke.
We have cold summers over here.

it had a stock newer 454 and TH400 in it, that ran very nice but more power is always nice. The plan from the start was to swap cam and intake and run Holley EFI on it but all hell broke loose :D

Love the 66 model year cars. Welcome to the site!

[warhawkchevelle]

Moved it to our club garage and started looking for rust as I had a bad leak from the windshield.

Maybe this should be moved to projects?
Any admin who can help me?

[Flash68]

Nice car - welcome!

Done.

[Zoomin]

Nice car - welcome!



Done.

No. He wanted to know if you'd go to Sweden and fix the rot.

:poke:

[Che70velle]

Beautiful car! I'm gonna build a 66' one day. Hate that you found a mess under that paint. Unfortunately this happens all too often. Did you also notice that the engine was in the car backwards? Kidding!

[rixtrix1]

Nice to see you sharing here, especially with a '66 Chevelle! It's a sad thing to find all that body cancer under nice paint. Mine wasn't quite that bad, but I had to replace both lower and upper corners of the windshield, too, as well as the filler panel at the back window. Please keep us posted on your updates.

[warhawkchevelle]

Thank you guys!
Yeah, that rost sucked bigtime especially when I bought the car from a dealer in the States with a supposedly good reputation.
if only they could have mentioned the windshield leak.
I dont think they were the ones doing the crappy fix, but hell water poured in everywhere.

Fixed all of the rust plus welded some holes shut in the firewall.

It was about this time Idecided to go LS and TKO600 and started looking for parts here in Sweden.
It takes about 2-3 months to ship parts from you via boat, and airfreight is a bit pricey for such big stuff ;)

[pro66tour]

Welcome! Have to keep pressing on, looking much better already. Will be following your build...:cheers:

[waynieZ]

Welcome Sorry to se the rust in the windshield, hopefully that will be the extent of it.

Sold off the 454 and started looking for some kind of LS engine, didnt really know anything about them back then.

These pics are backdated, trying to catch up a little bit.
Here are the front section of the frame painted black and firewall is about to get some paint also!

Found an LS engine, it´s a LS7X Warhawk engine.
Used engine with one wrecked head, piston and rod-damage in one cylinder so some work required but the price was nice.

Katech built engine that sat in a twinturbo z06 with poor tuning from the guys that ran it here in sweden.

Needed a new head, new rods and pistons.
The Callies crank was okay :)

[warhawkchevelle]

No work on my Chevelle for two weeks now.
Time to go racing with this mean machine

New engine this past winter.
CN Billet engine block with AJPE billet heads.
526cui and topped off with a PSI D-screw blower pumping out around 3500hp.
Not my car, but a friend of mine and Im one of the mechanics.

The sticker on the injector translates something like this: Expensive as f*ck but paid for ;)

That's not really that bad, as long as that is all of it. I bought my 66 from a body shop owner that had his guys working on it during dead time (for years). It was in primer and looked pretty straight, although I could see evidence of patches on the back sides of panels. By the time I got through removing stuff I didn't like, this is what it looked like. LOL Now it has nice, new, straight AMD panels over a blasted and epoxy painted skeleton. Looks better, but it was a lot of work. Good luck with your project.

The block was bored to 4.155 so with my 4.00" crank it was a 434 cui.
New Wiseco pistons and Callies rods was balanced together with the crank.
And bottom was assembled.

Modified a Holey pan for crank clearance and put an AN-bung for oil return from the supercharger.

I agree the firewall looks great in body. Good choice. Keep it up!

[warhawkchevelle]

The engine complete except complete heads, my new ones are still at the machineshop. Had to redo all valve seats and get retainers in correct offset for my springs.

Got my Speedtech chassis brace kit last weekend and a set of 335/30-18 tires.

Im going DSE speed 3 kit, just need to save a bit more money .

How wide tires can I run in the front?
Reshaping innerfenders isnt a problem, just curious if I need to do any mods on the frame in the front also.

Would like to run 275 at least.

A few years ago I was in Gothenburg for about eight days for work. Man I loved that town, the architecture was astounding. Even took a ride through town out to the bay through the canal.

[warhawkchevelle]

Gothenburg is a nice city.
I live more north though.

The grinding and welding continues, will redo the factory welds in front and middle completely before I get started on kickup and the rear.

I will build a tube crossmember for the upper rear crossmember mounts also.

Got a little bit more on the motor.
Put in the lifters and mounted a head so I could check the rockergeometri and measure the pushrods.

Manton pushrods are on order.

A bit more work Done on the frame also, welder broke down so gotta get parts for it tomorrow

[Che70velle]

I like what your doing here with the chassis. Reminds me of what I did with mine.
This build is exceptional!

Last side done, Im gonna fabricate new coilover-mounts in thicker steel and more fun design.

Anybody got any ideas on how to reinforce upper crossmember?

[66tintop]

Excellent fabrication skills ( especially for home built ) I like everything about the changes, for the upper crossmember , I wouldn't be scared to just cut it out and replace with a 2x3 rectangular tubing with re and re mounts ? Maybe even make the upper mounts adjustable ? Just a thought 😋 Keep up the great work !!!

[warhawkchevelle]

Thank you very much!

I like the design of the stock crossmember though, maybe waterjet a front piece in a thicker gauge and then build a boxed profile thats about 2" but stock height?

[Timberline]

I like your build it looks great. I also like the 63 Impala in the background :goggles:

Last side done, Im gonna fabricate new coilover-mounts in thicker steel and more fun design.

Anybody got any ideas on how to reinforce upper crossmember?

Check out page 2 and 3 of my build thread, link is in my sig. Lots of chassis pictures. I've tried to post pics, but the site won't let me without resizing, and I have no clue how to do that.
I built a new rear shock crossmember, and I diagonally braced it to the factory crossmember, thus adding strength to both my new crossmember, and the factory one. I "coped" all of my tubing into my frame, meaning I used a hole saw to cut a hole into the frame, so that I'm not simply relying on just a weld to hold this all together.
Realize that what restricts us on these cars from running a big tire in the rear, is the factory lower shock mounts, at the axle housing. The rear shocks point out toward the tire at a steep angle, and end up close to the sidewall of the tire. You have to change this. Move the lower mounting point inward on the axle a good piece. This is why I totally redisgned my rear shock mounts. I needed the correct shock angles, and wanted to run a wide tire at the same time. Not sure about your wheel wells, but the 68-72 cars have over 14" of tire room, from the fender trim over to the inner wheel well. I would think that yours is close to that, and now with your frame mods, and your inner wheel house modded, you will have enough room for a lot more tire than me.
Keep up the nice work!

[warhawkchevelle]

Havent been any progress on the car in a while.
Bought an old squarebody truck that is taking some time to get running.

Got some work done today on the motor though.
Built a TDC pointer and installed the last head.
Pushrods are measured and ordered.

Started to remove undercoating today, half body done.
Found some bad repairs in the trunkfloor that has to be repaired.

Gonna keep grinding tomorrow.

Waiting for pushrods from Manton for the motor.

[Mikael A]

looks great keep grinding away:thumbsup:

[188slo50]

Loving the car so far but what are the specs on the car when you started, suspension and tire size?

[warhawkchevelle]

Oh Im sorry. I have missed your question.
It was stock suspension with cut springs.
18/20" rims staggered. 275 in the rear, 235 in the front. Dont recall BS though.

Well, it has been some progress.
Been real busy at work plus the dragracing season has started now.

I have ordered the speedtech tracktime kit for the car with chicane coilover conversion to the front. Plus forged spindles.
It should arrive here in Sweden in 5-6 weeks.

Sold My Holley Dominator EFI and bought a Fueltech FT500, My local tuner works alot on these so It made sense. Plus I like the concept with ECU and dash incorporated.

I have cut out one tub, but cut a little too much so had to make some repairs.

Well, here are some pictures. :)

Will build a new rear crossmember with a trailer hitch.

I have also ordered Baer brakes 14” with 6 piston calipers around.
Moser alu thirdmember with 4:11 and wavetrack differential.
Ron Davis radiator.

Hoping to receive suspensionparts before christmas vacation so I can finish frame modifications.

Will be better to update if someone is interested 😁

We have been patiently waiting and I can tell you it is a great update and yes we need more updates !!!!

Very nice. Glad the body fit the frame as you intended it to. Hope you have a successful Christmas break.

[Che70velle]

I’m always checking for your updates. Let’s see some more please!

[TorqStorm]

Awesome work and beautiful ride. My favorite year chevelle. Love the hitch idea!

Nice work!

[warhawkchevelle]

Well, it doesnt look like I am receiving suspension parts in time for Christmas.
Speedtech delivered those parts in June I think, a Buddy of mine who ships container fell ill. So I told him to focus on health.

Found another shipper a while back which took over, but when you ship by boat it can easily get delayed.

Been superbusy at work, I install sprinklersystems and it has been total chaos last six months. So I am away from home and garage monday to thursdays, fridays I work at my dads mechanical industry so not much time over.

Cut some 3mm steel and bent them for a new 50x80mm rear crossmember.
We have a small version of dragweek here in Sweden called streetweek so I really need that hitch plus I like to go on caravan-trips :)

[Che70velle]

That’s awesome! How much time do you have til StreetWeek?

[warhawkchevelle]

It is scheduled for mid July. But my plan is to be Done in good time for 2019 summer.

I had to do something else for a while so I bought myself a new sled, but I have 2 weeks off work now so I will build Chevelle also

Added a piece of tubing between rear shock mounts and mounted it in the rotisserie. Going to see my painter tomorrow and see if he has time for it soon.

Been crazy busy at work a couple of months but one more week before 3 weeks vacation, would be nice to have it painted before then so I could do some assembly during vacation.

Going Racing in 3 weeks again with our Top Doorslammer 65 Chevelle. Ran a 3.84 on the 1/8 last year. Goal is to set a 3.7X this year.

Mounted my RXT twindisc clutch on motor and hydraulic throw out bearing on the tranny. The gap was within specs so I could bolt them together finally.

Hopefully the painter want take so long on the chassis so I can get it back next week and start assemble.

Gotta order fuel-lines also, gonna go AN-10 hardline to front tank and AN-8 return line. Will get the front fuel tank built when supercharger is fitted.
Got a belt driven pump on motor, will feed it from a AN-16 line from front tank.

[Che70velle]

Here we go!! Awesome!

[jarhead]

this is so cool! Now I have to visit Sweden!

I had to chuckle at all the XC90's in that one picture, we have one as well and see them everywhere here.

[warhawkchevelle]

Yeah, Thanks guys. It feels really fun to build now 😁

Starting to be cold nights over here now so I parked away the longroof for the winter. I gotta run the Chevelle next summer 😁😁

I put on some more parts today, I will do some brake lines this weekend and mount my core support so me and a buddy can do the finishing designs for supercharger brackets and get it built :D

[rixtrix1]

Nice old wagon!

[glassman]

when r your long/warm months? or how many weeks? putting it away in August makes me sad.....longer nites to put it together and have her ready i guess?

Looks killer...

[warhawkchevelle]

I took out today again. We got a driver and going for a Cruise and beers in the town next to us.

Late august/ beginning of september usually and then we got bare roads in beginning of may.

So much downtime but thats why we got snowmobiles :D

Slow progress, its a lot of planning to remember all parts when ordering from your country and getting it to Sweden :whistling:

The axle and brakes are finally assembled and I will measure and order braided brakehoses tomorrow.

Im getting it registered as a modified vehicle so I need to get a build inspection Done before I can mount body also.

Regarding venting of rear axle, I have AN3 male barb on housing.
Any ideas for filter or roll over valve or What have you used?

All hoses and Clamps are finally in place, now I can book time for inspection of the build for my registration as a modified vehicle.

That has to get approved before I can mount body again.

Had a radio delete panel so thats where the FT500 dash/ECU will dit. Gotta get it chromed and painted also before I install.

A buddy left his Drag Week Corvette in USA so he is flying over in november and upgrading it so he’s bringing home a Dakota Digital RTX for me.

[WSSix]

Congrats! That's quite the accomplishment. The car is looking good! Hope you have a productive winter this year finishing the car.

[warhawkchevelle]

Thank you!
We`ll see if I have enough time, energy and money to finish it this winter.
Waiting on a new sled also, hoping for a lot of deep snow and steep hills this winter also :thumbsup:

Me and a buddy started to design supercharger brackets tonight. He is drawing it up in Solidworks so we can do a first mockup.

[warhawkchevelle]

Had to redo my transmission tunnel, didnt get good angles so I lifted the Tremec in the rear.

[warhawkchevelle]

Slow to none progress, been busy at work but Im getting ahead soon so I can keep going with the Chevelle.

I need to order gauge cluster and steering column so I can assemble the interior and get it Rolling for headers and exhaust building.

I like to do something other than just basic car stuff once in a while so I bought some stereo parts also, should be fun :gitrdun:

We have been designing more on the mount for my supercharger, gonna ditch the manual tensioner and do a springloaded tensioner on the lower side instead.

I have been having problems that my IP-adresses at home have both been blocked so I am posting this from work.

Hoping that a Admin can help me with that :)

[waynieZ]

Nice looking gauges. You did a great job on the dash nice and clean, I wish the 69 Camaro dash came out like that would make working under there much easier for this not so thin guy lol. I just picked up an RTX set up.

[warhawkchevelle]

Thank you!

Did a few other styles but I ended up liking this design the best, the angles are similar to the few others in the dash.

[warhawkchevelle]

Black vinyl on those and a black speaker mesh to cover the speakers should make for a discrete installation

Nice.

Dash is painted.

I should be able to start wiring the car in a couple of weeks and start assembling interior.
Supercharger mount is final designed, we will 3D print a version at first to verify fitment before milling.

Dash is partly assembled, waiting for my metric RTX gaugecluster now.

Started to modified heaterbox so I can set the engine further back. Need more space for intercooler and chargepipes.

My buddy is gonna start 3D printing the supercharger mount this week so we can test it before milling.

I am leaving next weekend to go sledding with Polaris for a couple of days!

Ordered an Aeromotive fueltank and straps yesterday, Im getting hopeful that I can get the car running by this summer :whenitsdone:

Well, the harness is Done but he flew over to you guys over the weekend so I wont have it until next week.
They are at Bigun in NC and prepping their Corvette C4 for Dragweek!

I will spend the weekend sledding instead :badidea::lol::lol:

Version 2.0 in progress, location has been changed to higher and closer to the motor.

Nice work here guys....especially the CAD.......I'm just wondering why u need the guide roller on the long bracket at the top nearest the turbo?
Seems to me the tensioner will wrap the belt around turbo pulley better without that roller.

Just asking :y0!:

I love the wheels, perfect for a 66.

[Zoomin]

I agree, perfect choice on the wheels.

Those are some massive brakes!

[warhawkchevelle]

I have assembled one doorpanel also with the new speaker setup. I like the look, just gonna make a mesh cover over the speakers so they are hidden and a little more protected.

Over the easter holiday I plan to finish all the wiring in the car and putting in the interior again. Fit the new IDIDIT tilt column I got yesterday and also plumb the brakes and bleed them. Gonna install a hurst linelock also.

[rixtrix1]

Those Weld Wheels will look great on your Chevelle, or mine for that matter, and they're priced fairly reasonably for a forged wheel.

[warhawkchevelle]

Long time no see 😁

IDIDIT tilt column installed and wired and new steering wheel in place.
Most of the EFI is wired, just a few inputs left. Driveshaft speed and some other things.
I replaced the intank pump in Aeromotive tank for a Deatschwerks 400 pump.

Waiting for driveshaft and some other minor parts, but I will continue work on the wiring for the car.

I really can't understand the current craze about black, face fronted wheels. The deep, shiny Welds on the back look fantastic, especially with that color paint.

The front wheels are just some crappy BMW rollers, Im still waiting for my correct spacers for my welds in the front also.

Hoping to get them machined soon enough 👍🏻

[Timberline]

Love this build !
I can’t imagine how difficult it is to build overseas waiting for parts and having to find you need that one small fitting and wait again before you can finish something.

Some shorter and one step softer frontsprings arrive today.
Plus two custom made spacers for caliperclearance in the front.

And the new 4” PST aluminum driveshaft also :)

Hopefully I can mount the front wheels and coils in a couple of days and then roll it out for some motivation.

Supercharger plans are dead, going turbo instead. Easier installation, Im having manifolds and exhaust custombuilt after the summer anyways.

Gonna order a Precision LS 8284 in a few weeks instead.

Thank you very much! It was well needed to see it out on wheels :thankyou:

Plan when I first Tore it down was to have it finished when I turned 30, I am 32 now :whenitsdone:

[waynieZ]

They always have their own schedule.👍

[warhawkchevelle]

Picked up a new turbo yesterday, traded away the supercharger! :idea:

Havent done anything to this for, no motivation and stressed at work but it has settled down some and motivation have come back.

Engine and trans are going back in next weekend, had to order a new pilot bearing. AN 10 oilreturn is welded into the pan now also.

Engine in place, new Bosch 1300cc injectors also. This is planned turbo location :gitrdun:

[Che70velle]

That is a BIG turbo. Glad to see you making progress.

Triggerwheel and sensor installed and wired for traction control wired to the Fueltech 500 efi.

Brakes and clutch are together and bled.
I have more wiring to do before its time for interior.
Gotta install buttons in the steering wheels for rollcontrol and launchcontrol.

Plan is to have manifolds, chargepipes/intercooler and exhaust built by a company in late January or early February.

[warhawkchevelle]

Engine primed with an Accusump today, worked perfect so I turned the key for the first time and had good pressare right away!

congrats! You'll be ready by spring time for sure at this rate.

[waynieZ]

Nice progress, I like the traction control.

[warhawkchevelle]

Thanks guys!
Trying to get something small done often.

A buddy spent a couple of hours here today designing some small stuff that I need to get milled.

A block off plate for mapsensor with a connection for my LS7 manifold, so I can use the one built in to the Fueltech.

Lack of'progress is almost embarassing here :confused59:

However, I made a new layout for the engine management wiring inside glove compartment.
Made a new one in plastic and have ordered a bunch of Deutsch connectors to wire it up completely before install.

[waynieZ]

Nice neat job! It looks great.

Made a mount for the dash/ecu.
Turned out pretty good I think, it has to be rubbermounted though so the G-meter functions properly :D

I must have done something wrong because both my computers at home have been blocked from visiting the forum :knokwood:

Some things have progressed forward, some things backwards.

Hello!

Well, Whats new?
Sold my TKO and bought a new T56 Magnum, otherwise not so much.
Lack of inspiration :shakehead:

But tonight I started doing the new tunnel, gonna do the other side tomorrow and the sides will be tighter together before the cap is made.
Parts of the cap is gonna be dzuzed for easy access.

The Shifter is gonna have to be moved 2” to the driver so I still can use the stock console.

This was the most recent Ive got I think.
Unfortunately there is some weird filter on it, the car is Marina Blue.

[WSSix]

Still looks great though.

Why the transmission change?

[warhawkchevelle]

Still looks great though.

Thanks :thumbsup:

Well, when I first started building the car my plan was just an ~500hp LS of some kind.
Then I bought the Warhawk LS7 block and things started snowballing from there.

Ive been a part of both a turbo Pro mod team and a screwblown Top doorslammer team for a few years and plans for more power was there.

The TKO simply wouldnt hold up, this turbo will max out at around 1300hp so a buddy bought the TKO and I ordered a T56 Magnum instead :)

Same thing here. I said multiple times 500hp is plenty for me on the street. Yeah, right!! I just got my magnum trans this past winter and really didn’t have time this summer to get it broke in. Been a busy year for me.

I love this. This is how the frame for my 66 sits right now.

[warhawkchevelle]

Looks awesome!
What kind of suspension are you running?

Ive got the Speedtech tracktime kit on mine and their frame stiffening kit also.
Unfortunately I missed something when I ordered my rims so I have to run 1/4 spacers around to clear the calipers.

No issues in the front but its a little too tight in the rear, havent decided on a solution just yet.
May end up buying another set of rear wheels, always good to have some burnout wheels :idea:

Thank you very much.
They are 18x12s with 335/30 in the back and 18x9s with 255/30 in the front.

They are about 550$ per rim now I believe.

Will do the sides tomorrow and then take out engine and trans to finish it of and make the panel towards the firewall :thumbsup:

[warhawkchevelle]

Engine and trans came out yesterday, before I put them aside for a while I decided to get the hydraulic throw out bearing set at spec .200” for my dual disc clutch.

Installed the clutch and started measuring, had to remove some material from the plate between bearing and transmission to get correct play.

Got the tank mounted and a fuelfilter before the hoses got routed.
When the motor gets installed I just have the hoses into the rails and back to regulator left to route.

Been busy a while when building a 489 bigblock for a buddy, hopefully that one is gonna be done in a couple of weeks.

Next weekend is a snowmobile trip with some buddies :up:

Hello!
I had to make some wheelspacers to clear calipers to the spokes.
It turned out to be a little tight to the quarters, a buddy came up with the idea to move the disc and caliper instead so I had some spacers made.

Left all of those today, radiatorsupport and Hood latch and all the small parts.

Helped him push the car into spraybooth, so the doors will get painted tomorrow and then I can take the car back home :D

Its supposed to be Marina Blue, but Im not sure.
We had problems getting a good mix so we had some parts scanned and got a good match from that.

[warhawkchevelle]

The Chevelle is done at the painter, taking it home tomorrow to start assembly.
Got some help from a buddy with a loader today to lift the Impala upstairs until the Chevelle is done. Always nice to have more space during assembly :headspin:

Some assembly required but making progress :idea:

[warhawkchevelle]

Mounted and adjusted fenders and wheelwells today, looks alot better already :)

Gonna polish some stuff tomorrow before install.
Also ordered the new ICON 102mm throttlebody from motion today, unfortunately the 90˚ will not fit my combination because of offsets.

A buddy is gonna help me to design with my measurements with a reducer from 4” to 3” then have it machined.

Around there will the turbo sit, its a Precision 8284 (1350hp rated )

Will get a custombuilt kit in the fall by Pure Performance Factory here in Sweden

[warhawkchevelle]

Long time no see, started working again after summervacation.

Connected some pieces and started working on a startup-tune, really like the trigger test function in the Fueltech so I can test every component.

Almost time to final assembly the interior, will soon make an appointment for turbo install and dyno time. Thinking maybe in the beginning of october before snow hits.

https://rejsa.nu/im/user/8648/2021-08-20-18-26-01_d77a9dd4-1e30-4deb-b046-146f1ffce625.jpeg

[warhawkchevelle]

Did some mods for Cable bracket and bolted it to the mapsensor-adapter.
Much cleaner then the big Holley bracket I hade before.
Motion ICON is a really nice piece!

https://rejsa.nu/im/user/8648/2021-09-11-19-03-22_03b315f7-e358-40f2-b215-663d6c239a1b.jpeg

My buddy has designed an elbow for the car, bolts to throttlebody with flange for blowoff valve and connection for chargepipe.
Port on the bottom for IAT, will send it for milling soon.

https://rejsa.nu/im/user/8648/2021-09-11-19-03-22_5ff51eb3-f054-46a9-bde6-aedd36aecec4.jpeg

[warhawkchevelle]

I forgot to post a picture of my brothers latest build, started as a rotting car in the woods 20 years ago. Not been working on it all the time though.

Put it through final registration on friday so its officially done now.
Gonna remove mufflers and the ugly turnsignals, its now for sale as he is moving to the USA.

Slow progress but coming along with wiring.
Added Deutsch connectors to everything.

Waiting on milled parts still.

Holley smartcoil brackets are done.
Will pick them up this week along with connectors to make an extension harness for them.
He is waiting for material for the elbow still.

https://rejsa.nu/im/user/8648/2021-10-18-20-07-30_aba6cef0-7a41-4c0f-afec-da235b07edab.jpeg

Filled it with some fuel and ran the fuelpumps, checking for leaks and set fuelpressure. Everything worked fine :)

[warhawkchevelle]

Slow progress here, the shop that will be custombuilding my turbo-kit is doing a twin turbo 55 chevy before its my turn.
Will drop it off mid january, have been working extra a lot in the meantime.

Anyways, trying to do a little something whenever I have time.
Picked us this new toy yesterday, always fun to crack the box and assemble :lol:

Waiting for some clutchingparts and some titaniumpieces and of course SNOW :)

They have started building at the shop, so have been getting some updates.
Going sledding this weekend but doing a shop visit next week :)

The car is getting a 2x3,5” stainless system from the firewall pretty much.
For some reason the guys are going to build the manifolds so its easy to convert to twins :headspin:

Are there mirror 8284 turbos? :snapout:

Doing dual 3,5” over rearaxle now with small mufflers in the back.

Very nice work!!

Nice job!

[warhawkchevelle]

Thanks guys, Andreas who is doing the exhaust is really pulling out all the stops.
Car sits real low, but he still sneaks 3.5” exhaust past all the stuff going on.

He is now working on a set of custom exhaust tips, will be fun to see! :D

There will be a small muffler in the rear just to get that throaty sound.

https://rejsa.nu/im/user/8648/2022-03-30-16-28-55_f6691942-b99f-4b91-8c68-6662645f5056.jpeg

[warhawkchevelle]

We agreed on a design and then Andreas did it with perfect results :weld:
He will do a thicker edge on the tips so they look better.
We did a design that takes after the look of the taillights and then made small notches in the bumper to get them better tucked.

https://rejsa.nu/im/user/8648/2022-04-06-06-05-08_68c227a0-f783-4979-9d1f-735d57768925.jpeg

Hey guys!
Starting to final assemble over here.
Got a week off work in two weeks to keep wrenching.
My tuner has me booked on dyno in the end of May so its full speed ahead right now.
Waiting on some Fuel and oil lines before start up, should be next weekend if all goes well.
Got some parts painted for a clean look, elbow is going for black anodizing after dyno.

Decided to paint the beautiful Ron Davis radiator, turned out awesome 😁

Looks great! I haven't decided yet on mine, painted the one on Malitude, looked great that way.
