ok, quick update, picked up a pretty good size air/air intercooler for this setup. Was wanting to got water/air but this was another deal i couldnt pass up, came with all piping, couplers, and clamps. dimensions are around 24" x 12" x 4" (let me know if you all think this is enough), got my other spare lq4 motor brought over to the house and am planning on scattering it Sunday. I could not remember the reason it became a core at my old job, but at first glance I found a broken valve spring on #8...here are a few pics of the parts..I am also going to go with a full cog setup. More to come when I find out the full condition of motor..After speaking to someone I trust fully (who may chime in if he wants to) it has been determined that a fully forged 408 will be the base of this deal.

 

On to the pics
