69 Camaro Project Insanity

[Ivan Vella]

I finally got my intercooler mounted and made the custom brackets below.





Here's the finished product. I think it turned out pretty good. I had to move the AC evaporator and cut out the center support bracket on the car to clear the intercooler.





I bought a complete SS brake line kit from inline tube. I ended up having to cut and modify the lines on the rear axle. Here is the finished product.


Hopefully I will get the rest of my fittings in so I can finish the intercooler tubing this weekend. I also bought somee 1/2" SS tubing to run for the fuel lines so I'll be working on that this weekend as well.

Awesome build mate this thing will haul with the reduced weight and increased power.
I have the same engine combo in my 69 Camaro with the RS headlights, could you please do me a favour and tell me the measurement of the top of the cooler tank to tank and the bottom as well?
Also How much clearance from your headlight doors do you have when they are open?
Finally could you tell me what brand the cooler is and what it is rated at CFM or HP?

Sorry for all the questions but intercooler builders over here are expensive and usually full of themselves.

The intercooler is from CXRacing and it's a 27X12X3 and cost $125 on Ebay. I was told by a very good resource that they are just as good as the expensive ones out there and will be plenty of cooling for what I have. Unless you have a custom core support or plan on changing the inlet and outlet I don't think a larger one will fit in any direction. There is about 3.5" from the headlight doors to the intercooler and no room on top due to clearance with the hood latch. After you put the elbows on the inlet and outlet then there is not a whole lot of clearance around the frame rails either for piping.

Thanks mate, will be watching this build closely, my car is in fabrication jail at the moment (hardlines, minor panel mods etc) so will be watching your build for motivation...
