ill have to look but that chevy II is my uncles car 350hp numbers matching 327/4 speed car
couldnt tell ya the car was at one of my friends shops, the van was one of there customers cars
no mor epics of the Chevy II but next time i go back out to nj to goto the shop i will snap some good pics
i have more pics of the dodge though
and heres another bit of work
custom upper plenum i built for my car
Real good work. Build me a sheet metal intake 
honestly it would be cheaper to buy one from hogans compared to what i would have to charge to make it worth my while.
hell i did one for a buick gn cost the guy 2,300 when i was done and that was an somewhat easy intake to build
really? that much huh. Thats alot more than i expected. I wondered why those sheetmetal setups are soo damn expensive.
lol try to make one and find out! materials alone not counting labor.
the material does cost alot but thats not what makes it so expensive
the sheer amount of machine and welding work required is what makes them so exspensive.
i will say sheetmetal manifolds are over priced
example
it used to be to make a intake runner u would machine out the shape out of a steel block and form ur aluminum around it to make each runner.this alone would take hours per runner.and that was just to make a runner that wasnt even welded to the inatke or plenum yet
today they just take a chunck of aluminum and throw it in a cnc machine and machine it out into a billet runner pretty much
what about not using aluminum and using actual sheet mild steel or something? heavier yes, but cant be all that bad compared to as cast manifolds. SHould be easier to work with as far as welding goes
2 words " heat soak"
and the steel would actually be harder to shape and mold into the shapes u wanted
heres how they make the runners today
wow great work you have done on some of your cars.

redline is set at 9,000 rpms
this thing is going to be bad asssssssssssssssss
i have made a few other changes as well
ditching the front mount a/a intercooler for a cabin mounted a/w
and i am mounting the s475 in the front grill sort of like this
i cant wait i have a huge score to settle with some cars back in jersey 
bad ass. hope that thing spools that turbo up quick. Youhave plenty of rpms to work with so it should
