I'm not sure if you were asking me, if not, just ignore this post. I haven't decided for sure to sell. If I do, it will be intake manifold, 62mmTB, piping, t-bolt clamps, silicone hoses, both billet 62mm inlet bells.

What I'm not selling is the IC itself and the first length of pipe that comes out of the inlet/outlet of the intercooler. You would probably be better off finding a frontmount intercooler cheap and making up the last runs of pipe to it. I'm running the Ford Powerstroke intercooler and it was very labor intensive to install, lots of cutting on the car, and the pipe going to/from it won't fit any other intercooler.

Keep in mind, I never intended on selling this stuff so while it's very functional, I would've cleaned up the welds and ports a little better had I known I might've sold it one day.

One other thing, I would highly suggest ported stock heads at a minimum with this intake. The ports are matched to the Felpro1200 gasket all the way up. I had to weld up to 3/8" of metal to some of the ports to get them this big. They're probably better suited to the GN1 aluminum heads.

OK guys finally got some "T" time tonight and trying to figure out wether or not to do this. Hope someone can help, lol. If you go back through this thread you can see how my turbo is mounted in my setup. What I am wondering is if there is enough "drainback" from the pass. side head to run my return from my turbo to. I will probably have a 10an fitting welded to the front lower part of the cover. What do you guys think. I don't want to chance anything here this is alot of money and time I have invested in this thing in the past 3 months and don't want to risk not getting enough oil return from the turbo. Original idea was to run the return to the oil pan and weld a fitting onto it, but it doesn't look like there is enough "meat" there to do it. Any ideas?? Comments??

Your turbo looks too low to tap into the valvecover. Front cover would work. You may end up with valvecover leaks with the turbo draining there. Lots of oil flows through it compared to the valvetrain.

Well I know alot of oil flows through it was just wondering if I would have a problem with the head getting backup and like you said have valve cover leakage. Thanks for replying.

Gents,

Here is a pic of my 85 with my intercooler setup. Very expensive but well worth it!
