Thanks guys. In illinois if you have antique plates you are allowed to run a plate representative of the model year of the vehicle. I picked the virginia plates since they are black/white and match the car.

Hi Van! Hope the Z06 is treating you well.

Thanks again guys. Here are some pics of the manifolds. I cut off the stock flanges, beveled the ends and built up to the turbo flanges using steel schedule 40 pipe fittings. I pre-heated the manifold and mig welded it (turbo flange is tig) and it seemed to weld nice and clean. (so far so good).

Wow that is a great looking car you have there. I have a similar idea. I wanted a 70-72 Cutlass and make it a 442 tribute car complete with a LS motor. I love thow you have taken it further by adding twin turbos(GN's to boot) to the engine to give it all the power needed to beat most modern cars with great reliability and style! How long did it take you to do it?

Thanks, I've always liked the Cutlass/442 as well.

This car went from stock to completed in 6 months, working on it in my spare time.
