Thanks! I had it running on a test stand prior to this. However, this is the first time hearing it with the exhaust.

So I just finished building a cold air box. It turned out decent enough considering I don't weld aluminum very often.

At the bottom of the box are five small holes. There is another piece that will be riveted in place once the box is installed to stay. The piece will close the gap at the bottom.

Air will come in through holes in the core support just to the side of the radiator opening and also from around the headlights. I still need to drill the holes but I'll do that before I take it to powder coat.

The other day I put the hood on to make sure the air box cleared (plenty of room) and then rolled it outside for some current pics and video...

Then I brought Yelcamino around so they could get reacquainted!

I haven't done any actual measurements, but side by side, I think the Chevelle is a tad lower...

Herb,

I am really looking forward to doing more tuning. The idle sounds amazing and given the size of the cam, it is idling very smoothly. It should be a beast!

The whole thing has been fun and a huge learning curve building my own chassis and making all the parts work/fit together in a way Chevy never intended! lol The nice thing is I think I'm over the hump and the first test drive is within sight!
