Sneak Peek ! Magnuson LT1

I can't wait any longer to share my M112 custom LT1 Magnuson project! I am getting so excited I can't sleep! I am about 4 weeks away from dyno fun, and my wife is almost ready for a divorce (just kidding). This has to be one of the the most fun projects for me in a while. Check out the pictures of my work. The blower drive is off being machined right now. Enjoy! www.corneltechweb.com/superchargerweb.htm

Looking forward to a video of your dyno run!

Provide a build summary when you're ready.

Thanks,
Scott.

Todays update

Today I managed to get the the throttle cable bracket made, to accomodate my custom lokar cable and original cruise cable. Now I can finally install the blower on the engine for good and begin vac lines and intake tube. The blower snout should be done this weekend thanks to my awsome tool maker Craig at McDonald Tool. Thanks Craig!!

That's one of the coolest things I've seen done with a LT1.

Very cool, I commend you for your effort.
Non intercooled? How much boost you planning to run?
Any specs on the rest of the engine?
