W:thumb:here is the Nitrous gonna go to lite those monsters?

The kit is already installed just in case , but still hoping to light them on fuel :D

I'm having a hard time waiting to hear how you do at the track Trent can't think how you feel.

you and me both but i really have no clue on how a set this big will work , hell it may not even light , I wont know for a few days .

Things slowed down today but i knew the boost tubes would take a bit to make , especially since I did every pipe out of aluminum to try and keep it light , A big thanks to Dave ( UtahSki) he is going top polish up all the pipes for me tonight , the water air will be left for now as its going green later . should be able to finish up the rest of the engine tonight , strike 2 on trans parts showing up , they better show tomorrow or I'm screwed :baby:


This pics shows a nice view of the y bridge also , it is a dual 3" bridge ( 1 3" pipe feeding each head , it is also temporary till i finish the intake manifold but i think it turned out really nice and should flow pretty good , the engine just looks bare in the middle , I designed the whole kit around running a intake manifold not a y-bridge.

did you use a lb7/lbz intake combo to get the offset? looks good Trent:thumb:. without a turbo on the back of the motor you could mount the ficm on the firewall back there?

No you just use 2 of the same side and it off sets it , the y-bridge is not centered in the valley.

Trent I'm sure the air to water cooler is larger then what it looks like in the pics and I know you did ur resreach on it but why not a larger one? Weight?

Its pretty big its one of the bigger ones they have , its 3.5" in and out , we'll see how that one works first , bought it off Simon used for a good price.

Nice work Trent, can't wait to see it make a pass :hug:

Thanks Jason its been a fun project , I spend all year designing this stuff in my head so its fun to see it come to life finally .

It's looking good, Trent. I hope the transmission parts show up tomorrow. Can you not rob a bell housing off another truck?
That it wild!! I really want to see where the exhaust piping is going to go!
That's what I'm waiting to see. Gotta get it to that hood stack! :thumb:

Looks great buddy! Can't wait to see it run and hope it all works as well as you think it might. You sure have a lot of time it that thing.
