Man I love this car. Killer color choice!

I'm using stainless turbo manifolds from GP Headers. They had a single turbo kit for trucks so I figured I'd give it a shot. It actually fits the Chevelle, but on the passenger side the crossover pipe was right on one of the electric fans. So I ordered up some stainless bends from Stainless Bros. and built my own crossover tube. I gained almost two inches of clearance on the fans. For now it's just tacked together, I'll get it welded up later, but nice to have it done.

The first two pics are the original crossover with a stainless flex joint. The last three pics are my new setup, and I decided to use a slip joint instead of the stainless flex joint, seems to be the best way to allow for expansion and movement.

Looked damn good either way Jody. But, I most definitely get the aspect of fit, form and function.

Very happy to see the old flex joint gone and you went to a double slip!
Looks great Jody!

At least the old flex joint was the better type, with the stainless accordion piece inside so the stainless braid can't collapse and clog the pipe. But the double slip is considered the best way to go and I was building it from scratch so I opted for that.

Definitely was the better one. Sounds like overall your much happier with gaining the extra space too.

Drilled and tapped the Texas Speed intake for an air temp sensor. Like it in the intake instead of the air inlet tube as that's what the engine is actually seeing.

Looking Killer Jody!

Starting to look like a car.

That's badass! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
