The next step in Supercharging the SS - is to reassemble the ZL1 lid. I tore the lid down previously to send the intercooler coolant manifold out to get modified. I sent the manifold out to a shop to have two -12 AN fittings Tig welded to it - that way I could use the AN fittings and lines for the intercooler coolant system.

I did not want to use the stock GM plastic pieces - they will get brittle over time - and look terrible.

To help the manifold blend in with the rest of the ZL1 setup - I cleaned up the manifold after I got it back from the shop - and primed/painted it. This way the AN fittings, the manifold itself, and the ZL1 lid are all black.
After everything dried - I fully assembled the manifold, the AN fittings, and put the intercooler brick back inside of the ZL1 lid.


Parts Used:

ZL1 Lid - 12622236
-12AN Fragola 90* Fittings: FRA-229012-BL
