the kids 240

[snake240]

looking good man. one thing i noticed, where the hot pipe runs thru the body, it looks like silicone coupling is snuggly fit in the hole. if im seeing that right id cut hole a bit bigger and run rubber boot material on edge so it dont cut the coupling.

you guyz are rockin this thing out.

We needed to get from a 2" hot pipe, up to a 2 3/4 dia intercooler and that coupling is a 2" to 2 1/2" 90 degree adapter. It is 2" going thru the hole in the frame, then it expands to a 2 1/2 diameter just on the other side of the frame. It looks a lot tighter than it actually is. The original hose going thru that hole (it was still on the hot pipe I got from the JDM engine) was the same diameter. I agree that plenty of room is needed and definitely a place it could get cut or worn.

Lookin good for sure.

Update

We finished off the intake this week.





Cut tubing, rolled ends, took over to Slowmotion for welding.

We had my dad here this week, more of the father-son stuff. It was cool to listen to all the old stories about my parts all over his garage floor at his house. Cam ate it up.



OK... Now lets see if we can get that battery installed.

Westco battery from Phase 2, all-thread, nut-clip, nut, and old battery hold down rod.



Drill hole thru bottom for hold down rod.



Like this



Another hole over here on this side for the clip and all-thread.



Put this nut-clip in here. I slid it under the lower of the two.



Install battery



Piece of aluminum



Screw all thread down into clip nut, cut all-thread off to correct length, thread on nut.

That's it for now. Gord

Nice build. I see you live in Columbus. When you need the car tuned you should check out Defined Autoworks, they are on 16e broad st. heading twords Pataskala. I have my FD tuned by them. Logan and Peter do great work. I dont want to see a nice car and all of the hard work go down the tubes due to a bad tune.

P.S. S14 SR = +1

[AutoShadow]

Lookin' good, unlike the Ohio State shirt there... .

Hahah, keep it up...can't wait to see it when it is finished.

[1sikS13]

who does all your welding?

[gmac708]

who does all your welding?

A local tuner shop called Slowmotion.They do all their own custom fabrication.They are the ones who showed me what and how to do all this stuff.

You guys are doing a great job with the swap. I would almost guess you've done this before on an S-chassis. You've done alot of research, it is apparent. Keep up the good work, car is beautiful. This is something your son will never ever forget.

[C3Sierra_S2000]

Great work so for and a thumbsup for working with your kid. I started wrenching on cars with my Dad back in the day. Nothing I enjoyed more.

[grmreapr]

awesome build!!! where are you going to place your bov since I couldn't see any in the pics

[s13beast]

Nice build. just dont be TOO hard on him after those first few tickets...

[gmac708]

We are waiting for the valve to arrive this week. Already have flange and need valve to position valve on pipe. We are getting an "almost new" valve from a friend who thinks his HKS to too loud. Just like Cameron wants So I /Cam can save some cash.

First swap was in 77. 283 V8 into a 69 GMC 1/2 ton. 3 in a tree...anyone?...but that is it. Yup...Things have changed...but somethings never change.

You are correct about research, you can find out about anything on the web and particularly NICO.
