Well I figered I post up what iv been working on, sold my ls1 and dropped in a 4.8 I got for free, It had a decent amount of miles on it so I went throw it and put new bearing and rings in it along with arp head studs and rod bolts. Im using the stock heads and a 212-212 562 lift 112lsa +5 cam, custom spec'd 3600-3700 stall and 3.73 gears. Heres a few pics of what iv done so far, the cold side piping aint done yet it needs some trimming and adjusting yet I just throw it together to make pics, down pipe dont look the greatest eaither but it will flow fine and it will all get heat wrapped yet..

 

 

Looks good man!! What size turbo is that?

 

Nice work man. Do you have any more pics of the hot side crossover pipe installed?

 

this is the only one I got, didnt have my zoom lenze so I coundnt get out far enuf to get it all.

Turbo is a magnum 76mm 96ar bb p trim.

 

Nice turbo choice. This thing is gonna be nasty!

 

I hope so, im a little short on coin to finish out the fuel system but it should be on there by race season next year, I want to do twin 255s, 8an fuel line and 80# injectors.

 

I can't exactly speak for water cooled turbos because I've never used one, but the rubber hose on that barb fitting might get a little angry with all the heat coming off that thing... I used some rubber hose at first and it leaked a little bit because of the heat-hardened rubber hose. Spaced the hose away from the center section with some fittings, but it still hardened the rubber a bit.

 

We actually used a passenger side F-body manifold flipped upside down for the passenger side and a regular truck manifold on the driver side, it actually worked pretty good. There was more clearence with the F-body manifold.
