If you have issues cooling, this will just make it worse...I learned the hard way :)

John...your also missing some fender wells there buddy! :)

Yep, thats why I have 2 puller fans at 1500 cfm's each!

not to hijack the post but supernova what rods and pistons did you run in your 525. i want to put a blower on one. i just need to know what to look for. thanks

My motor has all eagle and j&e nitrous pistons, the eagle stuff is 4340 chromoly.

i was wondering what length rod and what size pistons. are they off the shelf or where they custom order. thanks for the info.

My motor is a tall deck block so the rods are longer then even a 496 ci legnth rod.
A 496 ci motor uses a standard deck hight of 9.8 and mine is 10.2
A 496 ci motor uses a rod that is 6.385 and mine uses a 6.535 length rod.
A 496 ci motor uses a 4.25 length crank and mine uses a 4.50 length crank.
My motor is a 525 ci motor with a 4.310 bore and a 4.500 stroke.
What else would you like to know?

That pic is from early last year. Everythings apart now. I've been working on the firewall for about a month now filling holes, etc. Hope to finish all that work this weekend. Fenders, hood, bumpers are over at Robert's (camaroman9) getting body work done. Sent the heads and intake off to have them tweaked, and I've got all the wiring stripped out of the car. I'll be taking the car over to the body shop soon to get the firewall painted, door and LR qtr repaired.

Wow, was there that much damage to it for the tap of the rail last yr.?

dam john sounds like your going to be busy keep us update with pictures. i didn't know you got the guard rail
rob

I fixed all but the cosmetic stuff last summer. That magnetic guard rail got the Left side fender, door, rear qtr, both wheels and tires, header and lower a-arm. Plus last summers hood launching incident didn't do the hood any favors either, it was a tough year on ol' Blue...
