Details on the ic install and pipes?(powerstroke plans)

[Bigbegum69]

sweet! we need to meet up mang!

[burgandybrick]

For the intercooler pipes, on the cold side i just used some aluminum pipe and welded it to the stock pipe to fit. Hot side i fabbed up from scratch, used a piece of 2 inch steel pipe and needed to adapt it to 3 in, so i got a 3 inch length of pipe and mearued a 2 inch circumfrence around one end of it.I the drew a V downIm actually pretty proud of the cold side pipe, look very legit to be made from scratch. From there i just used some 3 inch silicone elbows.


If i were to do it again ( and probably will in the 242, )i would put the intercooler in a less conspicious spot)

Umm... would you mind posting more pics of the 763? I'd like to check out how it looks from a distance. I've only seen pictures of 243's, never 763s or 743s.

:volvo:

[Delfosse]

burgandybrick.. you know you want my IPD sways.. MOHAHAHA :-P

[Husker4volvo]

How much drag does your wagon get but really nice engine bay...

[burgandybrick]

im sure the drag is horrible... all the wind coming in made the taillight in the window fall out! i dont drive the wagon much, been daily driving the 242 and planning to swap the motor ou of the 760 into the 242 when i get the flywheel and new clutch/ pp

[crazy0000]

You should have made the doors on the 763 like 5 feet long! haha(join the doors together)

[burgandybrick]

haha...what i did was too much work as it is.. and i never even finished it, and dont intend on it. oh well. live and learn i guess. now if i could just get the title problems worked out on the 242...

Are you gonna junk the 743?

[burgandybrick]

Ya. do you want it? it will be engine less, and computerless.

[Crazychopstick]

Ya. do you want it? it will be engine less, and computerless.

Nah. I was just wondering what a person might think when they stumble across it in a junkyard.

The idea of that scenario makes me chuckle.

[burgandybrick]

ya, i know i would be stoked if i saw it out there...

[Delfosse]

if you were in NC i would take the 763 shell off your hands..

[burgandybrick]

i bet you would
