Intercooler Ideas

[Evan Dutch]

Hey guys,

Boost heading my way for my 1971 Plymouth Scamp. I’m looking for ideas and examples on where and how to mount an air to air intercooler. Looking to see how you guys are intercooling your abody mopars, would prefer not to cut the car up too much if I can avoid it.

Let me know what you’ve got! Pics appreciated!

Thanks

Not an a-body but I’ve got a 408 with water/methanol injection activated by a boost reference switch. E-bodies don’t have a lot of room either. Eventually I want to do twin turbos so going to need and intercooler then!

Water meth is my backup plan for the time being, until I can figure out what to do about an intercooler

It's tough with Mopars except for the 71+ B-bodies. I have even though about two smaller ones, wet intercoolers, .. my 'druthers is air to air.

What engine and how much power do you need to support? There is VERY little room behind your grill. Swapping to a dart front clip would gain you 8+ inches.

I understand the desire for simplicity, but air/water may be your best bet due to packaging.

I believe you’d be looking at a minimum 3” core intercooler. I don’t see that fitting. Unless you’re willing to run without a grill.

Something like this might be your best bet:

When you say dart front end are you referring to a beak dart?

‘71 dart style front clip.
They have tons of space

And that requires the dart fenders too right?

My rad support was damaged so I opted to cut it out. Allowed some more room for activities.

I'm planning on spraying straight methanol into the volute of the supercharger? If that's not enough, I'll add a Chiller fed by my A/C along
with a heat exchanger. Both have the benefit of being very compact and very effective.
