    Name:  Baby IC tube mockup.jpg

Size:  147.5 KBDoing some mock-up this morning, What do you think? All of the connectors will be gone in final design, this is to get the pipe where it needs to be, and the angles right. Enjoy:

    I am using a section of formable dryer vent to get the angles right, it is made of 4 sections each about 22 1/2 * in angle, I twist the sections to the needed angle and "presto" you have something to go by to fabricate the real part and end up real close to what you need in shape and angle.

    Sometimes its good to be Xeno-morph-phobic though.

    As long as the forced induction doesn't result in the innards comming outwards latter on! Alien Chestburster is never a nice look.

    I love the weight reduction, the head design, and how it all matches in. It's like a V6 Cleveland with none of the problems. Thanks. Nice work.

    Thanks xctasy, I am trying to have it mechanically done by winter, but it's been rough being off of work due to medical issue. Getting done in dribs and drabs. But I am always trying to move forward. My next step is mounting the intercooler and doing the final pipe. The cooling system will be next, then wiring. The tune and data logger will be the final piece to the swap.
