Don't think so. They are weirdly shaped. It is the power steering resivor. My plan is flat bar and a muffler clamp.
Te60, how is the wagon coming along? You probably feel at home with the weather we have been having.
Havnt done a ton to the wagon. Been hunting down the last hard to find parts. Still need a turbo for the last kinda hard to find things. I would like a te43 or so but stock will do fine. I have 2.5 stock turbos sitting on the shelf but all need a rebuild kit and at least a compressor wheel.
Besides that its random sensors, belts, plug wires, ect.
Yeah I was in Alberta for vacation and came back and it was colder here haha. It's been too cold to really get much work done haha. I have a little electric garage heater but not worth turning on when its this cold.
I have been monkeying with the car a little bit lately. I found a good spot for my vacuum acumilater, and got that mounted.
My used intake showed up the other day. It is a little more beat up than what the seller told me. Kind of my own falt for not getting more pictures I guess. I put it on and I did not like how it sits.
Kind of puts the filter in a bad spot, and will be sucking hot air. So I bought some tubing and crap and have been playing around with different options.
I have to move or eliminate the charcoal canister to put the filter were I want. I think I like it how I have it plumbed now. Gives me room to mount things below it and I can keep the charcoal canister. The charcoal can gives it more of a stock apearance I think.
The only problem I see with how I have the intake run is. Not a good way to support or mount it with out it rubbing on something. Thinking about making a saddle bridge for it to sit on. Don't worry all the tubing will be painted black when I am done. What do you guy's think?
That's a great spot for the air filter. The packaging on your project is pretty tough but you're doing a great job. Stay with it. I recently heard a good idea, I think from Mike. He advised moving the charcoal canister ahead of the core support in the dead space. I'm not a creative guy so I don't have good ideas like that. Whatever you do, you want to have the canister. I don't have one on my car because it was a diesel so I have to figure the tank vent out but that's a project for another day. I really admire you for doing something different and something that is not easy. I definitely don't score any originality points for putting a small block Chevy in my car.
I don't think there is room for a charcoal can in front of the header. Maybe in front of the radiator. There is nothing wrong with going with a Small block Chevy! What you lack in creativity you make up in atention to detail. We should team up and build a car. That would be one bad *ss ride!
Move the MSD box back up the fender liner, drill a 3" hole below where the charcoal canister began, and drop the filter on a 90* elbow to fresh air. I did that on my Turbo Regal works wonders.
