Test fitting the LT1 and Blower

We had been on holiday in Florida for a fortnight, and I got the LT1 back from Zane at Zannetec before I went. I’d test fitted the Street and Performance accessories quickly and found that I needed a spacer to get it to line up before I went away, and wanted to find out if I needed new headers as well. I swung it into place and test fitted the headers which clear the rack but foul the steering joint as I expected. I took a lot of pictures for reference and pulled it back out and put it on the engine stand.

I wanted to mock up the Procharger too to see where that sat in relation to the pulleys, so I started bolting it all together. I had a bit of a panic when I saw how big this thing is bolted on, so mocked it up with the inlet elbow and hung the blower as well. As you can see, it’s huge, but there are pictures of one fitted on the Procharger site so I guess it fits. It needed a little bit of work to clear the water pump, but I wont finish it off till I get the spacer made and see where it hits. Looks ridiculous, but should be fun. Once it’s in the car I’ll see if I have enough space for an intercooler but if not I’ll just fit some bends to connect it all together.
