Winter Build gt47-88 383 lt1

The ebay intercooler came in today, and it's pretty much so beat up I can't use it. So It's getting shipped back. And I also can't believe how much it weighs, I wasn't expecting it to weigh that much.

Finished up all the turbo piping. And I have a change of plans, I will be going 396 instead of 383 and I will not be running an intercooler but I will be running meth. My Callies ultra XD rods came in the other day. Not sure if I want Buy a new Callies crank or just use my Eagle 4340 out of my old 396 and save some money. I've seen quite a few engines with eagle cranks making a lot of power and they rate them at 1500 hp but it still makes me nerves. The next step is getting the car ready for the 10 pt cage getting put in it in two weeks.

I haven't posted on here for awhile but the build is coming along, slowly but surely. Seems like every time I work on the car I find another $500 part I need to buy. I ended up going with Powerglide transmission with a Hughes converter. I got the 8.50 cert cage in and that took around 5 months for the chassis shop to get done and that's the main reason the car isn't as far along as it should be. And I ended up trading my GT47-88 and some cash for a Comp 91 dual ball bearing billet wheel turbo. I'm also staying 396 instead of going 383. Should make some good power. Saving up for a turbowerks scavenging pump and a AIS meth kit right now. Attachment 23500Attachment 23499Attachment 23498Attachment 23497

Thanks Popo, here's some more pictures of the cage work, Chuck Burkhart at Burkhart chassis did a really nice job. It just took awhile.Attachment 23506Attachment 23505Attachment 23504Attachment 23503Attachment 23502Attachment 23508Attachment 23507Attachment 23509
