It's running finally

Eventually....but right now planning to run TSL.

Hey Billy,

I am considering running TSL too :wink: and have the 4276 sitting in my shop. I'm legal right now with the exception of the turbo change.

I wouldn't mind seeing some pictures of your 4276 piping when you get it finished. ( compressor inlet and outlet ) Looks like I will have to do some fabrication to accomodate the flange type connection. Looks real tight fitting under the throttle body also.

If you get a minute, let me know.

George, in ALBERTA
 
Update

Some pics of the exhaust and intercooler piping done.

Billy,

That looks really nice, what is the rear cross over for?

Nope, Burns stuff is way over rated and $$$$. That's a cheap mild steel Dynomax bullet muffler that I bought from Summit. Exhaust size is 4". I didn't opted for stainless because my car is parked in a heated garage and doesn't see inclement weather use. I'm thinking of sending the exhaust off the Jet Hot to be coated.

Thanks.

I have a fobia that I might buckle the quaterpanels since the frame rails are notched. By notching the frame, the lower control arm frame mounts want to twist up into the floorboard. I re-plated the frame with 1/8-3/16 steel plate. I also have the HR lower control arm boxing brackets. I'm thinking about tying the lower mounts into the crossmember. And I got tired of it laying around in my garage.:) So I braced the sh!t out of the car.
