Looks like you need different rubber isolators. Here are some that I bought and what came with my 68 GTO.



Looks like you need the long ones with the big openings which I cannot find.

Love the new garage! Great work space!

In fact one of the lower rubber had moved and that why the radiator was not in the right place...
I didn't noticed it whan bolting the upper bracket

My rubber are right I wanted to replace them but they where out of stock by TA Performance (Buick specialist), i will check on my El Camino if chevys are the same.

Thanks anyway for your help !!

so the intercooler is connected, i cut all the tubing to the right length...

Do you know of any small tool to make a bead, or rolled up at the end of the tube ? Is there only a Woodward-Fab Bead Roller Kit which can do it?
I cut some tubing which had bead on each side but now one side is missing his bead !

Any help will be welcome !!

Thanks

time to fit the intercooler with some fabrications...






I had to cut the tubing and make some beads at the end of the tubes, I used a bead roller.

the jauge pod is in place =) fuel and boost pressure

next step , getting rid of the column shifter...





I had bought a tilt floor shifter column from a monte carlo (dixit seller) and I mixed the two comlumn using the monte housing in place of the Buick one...




job done....

with my modified Unimatic shifter,
I built a mounting box to place it under my console..



the welds are as is as they will be hidden

[Macbuick]

Koni shocks are in place as well as the SPC upper arms.....in place of the CPP ones.





next step the eletricity, MSD and fuel pump.....

[Macbuick]

sump tank is welded.....





I made a plate to bolt the fuel pump between the tank and the rear bumper...


I ordered a sandwich plate to place between the oil filter in order to have more holes to fit the oil pressure and T°....
