    Yea John, slow progress but any progress is good.

    San, I have a Diffs online center section with polished gears. I don't think the whine is from that. I changed the diff oil before moving down here. It may be a wheel bearing. I'll just have to wait until it gets louder so I can ID it. I do get a little gearbox whine. It usually goes away when I change the fluid but that noise is easily identifiable because the it changes pitch with engine speed and gear changes...

    I got to spend a little time working on the car between hurricanes and sick kids and started to mock up the new heat exchanger.
    This thing is massive and it’s going to need to be modified to work the way I want it to
    I had to cut out the aluminum bumper brace so it can sit into it.
    Also turned it upside down so the inlet/outlet are on the same side as the pump. I’m going to cut the original bracket off since it’s now on the bottom in this configuration and I’ll have to design new mounting brackets. There are 4 unused studs on the radiator support that I’m hoping to utilize for that.

    I wish I knew how to weld aluminum. It would make this much easier because I’m going to have to get someone to weld it all for me off the car. Ideally, I’d want to be able to tack weld every thing in place on the car then finish welding off the car

    When I go SC on mine, would installing an IC be one of those “might as well” mods to do when the charger is installed? I only plan on running 5-8psi off the top and maybe increasing later

    That IC looks pretty thick, where did you get it at (I may have missed this)?

    Thanks guys... lots of time consuming fabrication but it will be very satisfying when it's done.

    I could of sworn I replied to this but I guess I didn't...
    If they have a kit for an intercooler and it's within your budget, then yea, I'd do it at the same time. Cooling the mixture at any boost pressure won't hurt. These engines can take quite a bit of boost stock (up to 12 psi if tuned and cooled right) The limiting factor is an auto trans. You can't much above 6psi with an auto. I'd start with 8psi with a manual...

    The heat exchanger I have is made by AFCO for a Ford Lighting. I think it's thicker than the enine's radiator lol

    The it was supposed to be just an oil pan gasket project

    Finally getting the mounts for the heat exchanger done. I just don’t have the resources to do it the way I want... with out making it look like some one did it in their garage with a vise and a hacksaw because that’s basically all I got and my Mig isn’t setup for aluminum.
    My car is here at Nth degree fabrication. They do amazing work...







    They’re old school which I really like








    And that have Bimmers!
