WOW. Great work Kevin. The C & R stuff looks top notch.

Thank you gentlemen! We appreciate the kind words, I'll share them with the crew!

Kevin, can you share with me the supercharger heat exchanger part number? I like the mounting tabs, etc.

I like where this is going. The crew is doing a very good job at a reasonable pace. Especially for having to work around a fully finished car for the second time. :)

Thank you! There have been some part hang-ups along the way or we'd be further down the road at this point. But you know how it goes, you cannot predict the speed of suppliers and service providers. Overall progress is going well. Thanks for the feedback!

What's important to note about the heat exchanger for the LT4, the inlet/discharge are on the driver's side vs. the passenger side for the LSA.

Thanks!! After I asked the question, I realized he had a LT4. Yeah, I called C&R this morning and asked what's the differences in LT vs LS heat exchangers and where the line connections are essentially is the only difference. C&R said if you have a water-cooled supercharger, either one would work as long as you didn't mind which side the lines routed to.

Things are coming together on the LT4 swap.

There goes the warranty. LOL When do we get to hear the "varooom, varooom" sounds?

This was a take-out engine from another car, so there were no warranty concerns from the start. The GM warranty is pretty good on crate engines, and we are an approved shop for those installs, and have been through the process with them. It went very smoothly. This one had some miles on it when it arrived, but outside of a few sensor issues, it seems healthy.

Vroom vroom to come shortly!

Thanks!
