Even at low boost..that thing is gonna RIP!

I definitely want to see pictures of this inside the engine bay of your ride Terri!

hrpiii · 07-11-2012, 07:53 AM

it appears it should fit into the engine bay quite easily. Now closing the hood, that may present an issue.

Looking good Emma!

Looking good Terri.

The tech measured everything very carefully. The intake was made to order and is supposed to fit under the stock hood.

Darth_Emma · 07-11-2012, 08:54 AM

Any of you ever buy a race suit from Profoxracing.com?

I don't have a race suit and they are impossible to find in womens sizes at a reasonable price (I found one for $1400!).

I guess I should probably have one of these for Indy. Or should I just get thrown off the track if I go under 11.5? (Dream on...)

I'm just playing devil's advocate here, and in no way wishing this upon you or Smaug - but what happens if it doesn't fit. I can't imagine IPS making you foot the bill for their screw up.

*GTAHVIT* · 07-11-2012, 10:01 AM

I'm betting it will fit, it's a pretty common thing for shops to figure out hood clearance.

if it was wrong, Should be as simple as ordering a new intake... But that won't happen. sending positive vibes to Smaug!

Darth_Emma · 07-11-2012, 11:32 AM

It will fit.

Darth_Emma · 07-11-2012, 11:42 AM

Stopped by IPS today. The valley cover and crank case breather are on.

The rockers we had (LS3 - which are 1.7) are not correct for the All Pro heads. They ordered LS7 rockers (1.8) which are correct. They will arrive today and Tom will then measure for the pushrods. He will order those today.

He also ordered the shorty headers today. The stock exhaust manifolds will not fit with the All Pro heads.

Tom is taking Thurs. and Fri. off. The push rods and headers will all arrive by the time he gets back from his vacation on Monday.

Here are some pictures.

Crank case breather and valley cover.

With the intake manifold set on the engine...

Picture of the rockers. The wrong rocker (LS3) is on the left and a correct LS7 rocker is the one on the right.

And just a couple of shots of the engine with the intake unwrapped so you can have a better look at it. The fuel rails have been anodized black, but aren't in the pic. I have also asked them to polish the power steering bracket to match the intake.
