Looks Great! be a good idea to (Jet Hot) all those pipes and go with the 2500 degree coating. I’m working on a 1967 SS/RS LSX 376 and the coated headers are beautiful. Great Job.
I just watched a video from Ugly Truck Experience. They modified a a/c mount so the compressor could be mounted on the right lower side of the engine and it would clear the frame.
I have this same kit in my 70 nova. I would highly recommend getting the headers re-welded and pressure tested. Mine were full of pinholes. Also completely agree on the intercooler setup there's 2 miles of piping, and all of it has clearance issues, I ended up ditching the intercooler they sent me and running something else with no front bumper
I was going to have the same problem if I bought Holly Mid mount kit. Plus it was really high for my budget. I actually wound up building my own brackets which put my AC compressor down low.
Please do some update videos on this build. I just started my 71 nova. My 5.3 is at the machine shop now. Parts are coming in, twin turbos are here already!
Damn, I've been waiting for an in depth video. This is the route I want to go with eBay manifolds. I'm thinking of a low mount ac and notching the frame. I have searched the front accessory system yet because I'm still performing body work on my 72 then roll cage.
Awesome.... Im just starting on the same route as you. Twin turbo ls nova... Any updates on the ac situation using the speed engineering look alike turbo headers?
I went with the passenger side low mount compressor. Same headers. To get around the spark plug wire issue I ordered some color matched heat shield sock type in order to not cook the wires. I went with eBay “Fapo” brand because they have better spacing on the manifold pipes. Are you using a air to water intercooler?
Hey did u get this car done? I'm doing the exact same build and would like a little walk around ur finished project. Never build a twin or turbo car and would like to see how ur piping and stuff is ran

They have a Sanden compressor that has 4 mounting tabs so you can mount it in different directions. Would add a photo if I could.

Nice build, so far. What accessory drive is that

i'll have an updated vid coming this weekend if all things go to plan!

Any updates on this car ?
Any update on the ac lines?
Damn, who did that sanding, look great!

Can you reclock compressor
Hows the progress i am thinking about ordering that same tt kit
Run the a/c compressor underneath next to the crank

Just do heat wrap on the ac lines so you can still run A/C
SKU:AIR-FITTING-90 CVF RACING
Air Compressor Manifold AC Line Fitting 90-Degree Adapter Block???
Precision Works LSX LS1 Swap AC Compressor Adapter Fitting
Both don’t work.
