It's been a while as I have had some issues with getting pictures off my phone and into the web hosting sites ..... Finally got it figured out (I think)....LOL....Anyhow, I had some issues getting a Heat Exchanger to work in the space I had available....I ended up buying two different ones that I thought I could get to fit.....Ended up trimming the inner grill lips and no matter what I did I could either get the Intercooler to fit or the A/C condenser...but not both....So...I kept looking and looking at what was available..... I found a motorcycle engine oil cooler that looked like it would fit.... It was small enough to work with the taper of the grill.......Humm!!!..... so I bought another one and mocked them up on either side of the hood latch assy and installed the A/C condenser and everything just barely fit......I had to modify the heck out of them but they fit.....they are on the small side and don't know yet if the cooling will be sufficient but my only other option was putting one of the larger one under the car with fans blowing thru it......Gonna try this and see how it works....https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/4aeUob.jpg

Ken your builds are incredible. Your persistence in solving issues and knowledge make these builds possible!

As you can see there isn't much room left for anything ........Just enough for things to fit....here's a pic of the drivers side showing the power steering reservoir and the coolant tank for the supercharger coolant system...

The Air Intake tube just clears the Radiator.........Everything just fits....

The ECM just fits also..... Still have to clean up the old wiring..

The LT platform is more complex in even the simplest ways. I loved the former rubber seal LS gaskets which never leaked when installed properly. The RTV deal works fine but is a pain in the @$$ to clean off, even more so with an egine in the car.

We just finished up an LT4 1969 Camaro with a TKX 5 speed and will be starting an a 72 Nova with a built for boost L8T 402ci.

What are those stock headers/manifolds off of? Looks like a great fit!

They came with the engine assy from GM

another kwizz build when I started reading it what I assumed was inevitable- I was wrong,
- another LSA build but no you've upped the standard - again
no longer are you located at LS Make'um better - needs to be fixed or adjusted dont you think?
great work sir! this one ought to scare the bejezesus out of you
