HOLY CRAP that looks amazing. Even if it doesn't improve the performance, it certainly has improved the looks of the motor, and space of course.

Over $12K invested, and still its slow. Maybe thats because thats most all repairs. Don\'t knock the engine though, because thats the only part that has seemed to last. -
My hats off to you man. Now that is some fine work. Very nice indeed. Bravo, Its so cool to see what everyone comes up with in terms of crazy one off projects like this.
Wicked. Just wicked.

what kind of epoxy did you use and where did you get it from? I would love to make some valve covers, and an intake for my 3.1L ohv similar to yours to make some eye candy under the hood(as well as to get rid of the crappy intake manifold). By the way whats happening with this intake? I saw it on another board damaged from a backfire???98 camaro swapping in lz9 th400 setup

mcmaster.com was my source for the high temp epoxyOriginally posted by Nightingale
as for damage - yep it stood up to a minor explotion from an intake full of starter fluid having a backfire - only minor damage - mostly the evidence shows it was a flaw in my layup of the glass that popped off.. some dremel action, put it back together and reinforce it a bit and it should have no problem standing up to boostComment

i wanna see how this bad boy performs, if it performs and streets well and ends up with a non-lethal price tag, people will buy those up like hotcakes !
props, and IGARB!
EDIT: when you do tune, can you show baseline and after numbers ?

I can see something like this being a great intake for a forced induction setup, but I too am curious what she will do NA when you finish fixing it. Anyhow great work, and goodluck wth the repairs.98 camaro swapping in lz9 th400 setup

yeah i plan to dyno it before doing any cam timing changes - so i'll do a run off boost (which of course would be even better with some cam timing)Comment
