    Upside down throttle body and adapter.
    Milled about 1/4" off of the now top side of adapter for more clearance.

    Bonneville lower mounts are marshmallows. I replaced with the buggiest energy suspension sway bar link I could find.

    Didn't realize the front tranny mount was bad till today. It was letting the engine rock up a lot. I have a couple of rub marks on the underside of hood because of it.

    I love your work! I will be buying myself one of your intercoolers for xmas! Would you please show how you mounted the Volkswagen radiator and did the tubing and pump? Looking forward to seeing that as the Bonneville doesn't have that much room up front.

    I will be listing all the part numbers for the 90 degree molded end hoses, plastic fittings, radiator, etc....

    VW radiator is $65 and has great fins per inch. Will have this week.

    Car running with the intercooler on but without FMHE with a 3.4 pulley. Can't wait for the intercooler to be operational.

    Yes keep us updated. I'm considering piecing a IC setup together in the future and would love to do it without spending a bunch of money and by using the vw radiator.

    Awesome. My favorite part is the fact that it doesn't have headers. Completely serious. You going to take this to the track and see what it runs? Also curious about the rails. You make them?

    I didn't even pull the bumper to mount it. It's held on with zipties right now.
