Did you have a rendering done for this car?

Yup, this is the rendering from Mascoll Designs. I changed plans on the arches after seeing how wide the new suspension is in the rear and taking my first shot at the arches.

This is draft from that rendering:

looking good the rendering is awesome! nice job on the out of the box build! keep the updates coming.:thumbsup:

Nice job on everything! The rendering looks awesome.

Have there been any dyno tests with that intake yet? After looking at the lower intake (dual 4bbl) I had the impression it would be lucky to make as much power as a stock LS1 unit.

The Holley mid rise dual quad was tested by Super Chevy on their 5.3l build, I can't find any dyno numbers on the injected version. I had an article on the same intake I have in on the engine now, it came in with similar performance as the LS1 intake and they suggest it's better suited for turbo or supercharged applications.

I also have an LS6 intake but I love the look of this thing. Maybe I will be the first to dyno it in turbocharged form.

This mid rise was released not too long ago as well.

This is from the release:
"Bowling Green, KY--Holley is proud to introduce the newest product in their modular intake Manifold line

Introducing the Holley cast aluminum Modular Mid-Rise™ Intake System. The Modular Mid-Rise intake utilizes the popular Holley LS1/LS2/LS6 cathedral port Mid-Rise 2 x 4 intake Manifold along with a purpose built plenum base Adapter and a Holley 92MM EFI plenum top which converts it into a Mid-Rise EFI intake manifold. With a max overall height of only 10.44”, the Mid-Rise Manifold is an excellent choice for street and performance street/strip applications with a powerband from 1,500-6,500 RPM and limited hood clearance. It’s perfect for a blow-thru or turbocharged application.

Being part of the Holley modular intake line means that this intake is not only available as a complete kit with intake, adapter, 92MM top and fuel rails, but all parts can also be purchased separately for a custom intake build. The plenum Adapter (PN 300-231) will accept all of the popular Holley Hi-Ram plenum tops as a foundation for custom induction systems."

I am hoping it helps retain some of the low/mid end torque and I haven't really built a rev happy engine so the compromise should work out.

Does anyone else have one of these?

small updates
 

I have been working on a number of things on the car and have not had a lot of time for updates here.
Here are a few pics I was able to snap while working:

Doing the Walbro fuel pick ups and in tank submersed lines.

I decided to go with a GM clutch for now, it arrived on the weekend but was damaged in shipping. I am working on getting a replacement:

Throttle Body is on and I am fabbing a throttle cable mount:

I have also started on a number of close out panels, the firewall and core support. This is the core support side brackets:

I am also laying out the position of the intercoolers and will finalize the core support once I have fit it all together. More pics to come...

Here is a test panel for the firewall, I am working out templates in paper, and trying to simplify the entire thing.

And finally, going with AN fittings for the steam ports on the heads

The Big Cut
 

Still making panels, and working on the car when I can. Here are a few new shots:

Still have to clean up the welds, I am working on a shifter and finalizing clearances.

And the big cut...I am sure everyone has seen the VOXX P1800, I have to thank mr.voxx for this idea! I have a shop making the glass now after we made a test slug. I have a few sill plates to finish up but I'm happy.

I had a few people ask about my choice in seats when I first picked them up. They are from a convertible and have additional internal structure for rollover protection. I have removed some of the old structure in the roof and don't have plans for a roll bar so the seat provides a little extra protection.

Thank you Mr. Voxx :)
