I have the turbos and all the piping, just need to find the best place to mount the turbos with the least modefictions to the hood and or engine compartment. Then can start fabricating the pipes and find a place to put the intercooler so the engine will not overheat. Thanks for the feed-back. Keep it coming!!

Other than that, good luck, I actually came across a twin turbo 350 locally recently and was really interested until they started talking about the hole that was blown in the block. Obviously, built it for the boost you're looking to run and remember the bottom end will be the tell-all to a successful turbo project.

Yes and no. A proper installation should allow lower exhaust temps via lower intake charge temps, but a poor installation location in front of the radiator may cause higher coolant temps if radiator airflow is substantially degraded.

Agreed.. but in the sense of the original post, he/she was implying that an intercooler will help lower engine temp and prevent overheating. EGT and coolant temp are two totally different beasts here...

I would like to see a pic of the front wheel wells above the wire where the air intake tube is routed and what it looks like. Does the tire ever rub on it when actuated fully?

What I was referring to as far as intercooler and engine temps, is that C3's and for the most part vetts in general have more limited ram air for radiator cooling and in my case would like to keep my A/C condenser in place. So if installing an intercooler in front or behind the radiator it stands to reason there would more restriction of this ram cooling air plus the added heat from the heat exchange process and increased HP might cause the engine to run hot. Thanks again for all your help gents.

Just saw an episode of Hotrod TV featuring a Gale Banks bolt on system for SB that looks like it could fit in a C3 nicely. The displayed system was shown with a front mount serpentine setup.

Was it a stock GM serpentine system or an after market like March or Zoops?
I'll have to do some searching for that setup.

DB, the site states it's a CNC machined package so it must be his own design.

Yes, they are two totally different beasts, but they are not independent in their interaction.
