Hi Guys, here are some pics of my 63 chevyII I found it very hard to run the stock front clip so I found a company called Checkered Racing online and I bought there clip it uses coil over suspension and a rack and pinion. There is still alot of welding and bracket making to make this clip work but for the price it is a good deal, and it gives you a sense of accomplishment because it is not just plug and play.
1963 chevy II

Here is the motor installed. The Turbo is A t70 and I am running 75lb injectors with ported stock heads and larger valves. An applied Technologies roller cam and the RJC girdle. The transmission is a turbo350 with a 3500 RPM (9") stall convertor. The downtube is an RJC 5" to the first turn then I made the rest. It turns into 4" exhaust at the firewall and is 4" the rest of the way out. Note the upper (grey) portion of the fenderwell was purchased from Chris Alston's (So I can bolt on original hood and hinges). and the aluminum was modifed to fit it from the checkered racing kit.

On the far side the one gallon fuel cell is actually a reservoir for the liquid intercooler. On the left of the pic you can see the heat exchanger for it and I installed the bosch pump from a ford lightning underneath it. The intercooler is actually quite larger (16" X 12.5" x 4.5") but most of it is in the wheel well.

Here is the exhaust exiting from the downtube. NOTE the transition from 5" to 4" at the top, and also I had to modify the firewall (made the CONCAVED area) so the exhaust will not hit the tire. The muffler is a 4" magnaflow. I am going to route it out the back but have to wait for the completion of the four bar suspension.

Hey turbo6man,
It's nice to see the progress on your car. I think you did the right thing by getting rid of the old front clip and doing it right. It's something that I'm thinking of doing now, after-the-fact, when I should have done it right away. I was trying to keep my car in the "stock chassis heads up classes" that some friends ran at the time. Sigh...
BTW, I don't recall ever posting photos of my buildup, so I decided that for nostalgic reasons, I probably should.

Liquid-to-air IC to boot... I suppose you'll want to make it fly now!!
You're on the right track. Keep it up and keep me posted.
