Update...
Got the exhaust all done. Had to cut the tailpipes and re work them, nothing too bad, mostly just re clocking the pipes to clear the 4-link...
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...psfkj3poa6.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...pscj8yanzd.jpg Plenty of room over the axle, 4 link bars and brake lines. Nice clearance all the way around... http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...psgdjy6i5h.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...psrsq4jbeo.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...psqnggjuyn.jpg So with the exhaust done and the underside of the car basically done, I moved to the front. I have an Entropy dual pass radiator. I also have an inter cooler now, as well as the AC condenser. So I mocked it up and there was no way all three of those items are going to fit into the space. After doing quite a bit of research I landed on replacing the fans. The existing fans are 3.75" deep. I found some Spal fans of about the same dimensions except 2.50" deep. Took a gamble and purchased two of them...well lo and behold, they work. I am able to move the radiator back, fit the inter cooler and then the condenser. I may have to notch the hood latch a tad, but nowhere near the problem I had before... Old fans... http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...psdorxmkio.jpg New fans installed on radiator...notice the core support gap... http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...psgv5cxyil.jpg Looks like the hoses will go right through no problem... http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...pswaccpikc.jpg Intake elbow clearance good... http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...psprygsegg.jpg Pulley clearance good. If I ever have to replace the idler, the radiator will have to come out... http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...pskyvsvpc9.jpg Will start getting the inter cooler mocked up, pump and fill neck mounted and then start the plumbing......

Looking nice! Everything is tight on a Chevy II.

Great job Tom. I may have missed it, but what 4 link setup did you go with?

Small update...
Got the inter cooler and the AC condenser mounted. Looks like everything will work fine. I started modifying the hood latch and its support. Not done with that yet ran out of time...

Update...
Got the inter cooler all plumbed in, just need to figure out some kind of hose clamps to hold them together....

It should get enough air, but not really worried about it. This is more for additional fluid capacity, as the CTS reservoirs are small.... http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps3ftpyaw3.jpg Bumper mounted, plenty of clearance... http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps917clonf.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...psehcs6igt.jpg That is all for now...
