Yeah, nothing but "genuine styrofoam" for me, no expense spared (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Yeah, I'm going with a space saver. I'm not sure how really useful it is, but I will have it.

Aaron, I probably could've squeezed a little (very little) more out of the exit area, but the real pinch point is here (red arrows). The exit holes are 4" x 8" and I couldn't get much more area than that in this pinch point. I needed to reserve some space sround this plenum to run my oil lines and still clear the spare.

that's very clean...if it turns out to be effective after testing you should package up your parts for sale. I think I'd be interested, but I can't make schtuff out of FG.

you're using a front-mounted -12 thermostat on a 3,6?
good luck with that... |

Front mounted -12 cooler/thermo, yes, that was the plan.
Enlighten me on why that's a problem? This is going to be a street car if that has any bearing. I do have a -16 line from the oil tank to the engine. I've asked and researched this and have gotten many differing responses, mostly from people who are not running a 3.6 in a street car. So, I've resorted to taking advice from someone who has built a bunch of 3.6 cars, both street and track. I spoke to Jim Patrick (PMS) about my goals for this car and he convinced me -12 is the way to go. I'm not discounting the concern you raise, I just would like to understand it? I've not run or even purchased the lines yet so, fill me in?? |

OK, it was a day of sniffin' fumes!
Layed up the main part of the plenum today. Started by adding scab plates to all the mounting surfaces. I used pieces of plexaglass for the flanges. These allow for a perfect flange when doing the layup. A pic........... Attached image(s) |

Did the layup, let it cure, and then shredded the styrofoam plug inside. It looks much less impressive in chunks.........Uh, turn your head and cough..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif)

Here's the plenum after a quickie scrape and trim. Needs a little attention, but it's basically done.

Here's tomorrow's project. It's the front plenum. I've added extensions (blue foam) to the plug to fit the finished part into the front cutouts. Here it sets ready for glass in the morning.

Good job.
You've added to my general knowledge of how to do "stuff". With any luck, I'll never have to do much FG work.....but shit happens, so ya never know. Getting the shittage out of the center looks like it's gonna be a messy job. Chemicals maybe?....heat? (edit) I was a bit quick on the trigger, eh. |
