Just now seeing this build..
Good work man.
Good work man.
Mike, it is looking good! This has to be one of the most cautious installations I have ever witnessed. I have never seen so much blue tape, fender covers, hefty bags, cardboard, etc, in any one compartment. ;)
Hahaha. Yeah, better safe than sorry.
Sunday was Easter, and Yesterday felt like Christmas! Just received my Tial wastegate and blow-off valve. The wastegate is the V60 model, which comes with v-bands. Check them out...
These are the shiznit!!! Very similar to what you find on aircraft engine cowlings. Sounds perfect since that thing is gonna fly!!!

I drilled a hole in the hood latch so i can lock my hood...but I have to reach up from below with my key to open my lock. With these it's very easy and looks trick as hell!
not for the faint of pocketbook!!!!!!!! but oooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh, dats nice!
Why don't you install a hood lock from a mid-'70's A-body? That way you have the hood release inside the cabin like any modern car. I bought one last year at a swap meet and installed it, but had to take it back out to make room for the intercooler. That's the only reason I'm going to locking hood pins.
Here's a look at one of the AN fittings for the fuel line. I like these much better than the typical blue/red fittings. Other than hard line where necessary, I'll be using braided, black nylon line. It's stronger and much easier to work with than braided steel.
Thanks, TNPlumber.
68 HEMI GTS, that is one clean looking engine bay! Great fab work.
"GO", Did you perhaps mean, "6061 aluminum" ?They look alum. Smaller tubes appear stainless. Who is welding ? Good Luck, Ateam.TurboScamp has headers!!!
Well, not yet, but having the materials is the all-important first step. The smaller pipes are 1 3/4" 304 stainless for the exhaust. The larger tubes are 2 3/4" 6061 stainless for the intercooler inlet/outlet plumbing. Just waiting on collector measurements from the fabricator and then it's time to start welding.
