Awesome!

Thanks! From an outside prospective, should I sink the 4 star nuts into the top even if they are obviously not attaching dual carbs or filter pods?

Jim,

I would since you're doing the faux top.

Shoot, some people probably bought those cars just for the batwing.

[INTMD8]

Skip, come on man it's not a faux top! Faux top would be like draping a batwing over the top of a stock LS intake. This one actually works! Well, it will work one day

I should have this whole induction/intercooler project finished up by the end of the weekend. I'll then show how it all works.

For now, a couple of progress pics....

Very nice Jim! Man at this rate you should be done with the car by the time you retire! but seriously you are really stepping it up on this car!!!

[INTMD8]

Thanks Rick! Yeah it's kind of depressing that I've owned this car for 2 and a half years and there is no end in sight. Probably doesn't help that I keep getting ideas that require me to rebuild everything I've already done, LOL

Thanks!

I didn't get the throttle body flanges so I can't finish it this weekend but here is the liquid side of it.

Triple 5/8 inlet and outlet tubes on the core end tanks drop through internally o-ringed bungs welded to the lower intake plenum. Hoses connect to water manifolds (with stepped internal directors to help promote even flow) terminating to a single 1" inlet and outlet through the rear bulkhead of the intake.
