ChampionGN-1 intake or ported stocker?

[chasmat2316]

anyone have pics of champ intake installed?

Heater pipes works fine.

I made a custom coil bracket to tilt the coils towards the front.

 

[chasmat2316]

nice pics will the stock coil bracket clear the wipers?

 

[Turbo1dr]

My wipers were cutting the tops of the ignition wires with the stock bracket. I have also replaced my body bushings and have good engine mounts.

If you have engine mounts that are weak/settled along with good body bushings they may clear the wipers better.

If you have new engine mounts and weak/settled body bushings they may hit worse.

So shortening the legs on the bracket should take care of this problem,correct? I will have feedback on this intake soon. Full race ported and matching heads.

Yes. That's much easier than engine mounts and body bushings!

I have HR motor & trans mounts with poly body bushings? How much do ya think would have to come off the coil bracket to clear?

yeah I see that! I'm just looking for all the info I can get before I swing the motor into the car with the intake on.

This is about all the pictures I can provide.


Before I modified the intake for dual fuel rails. This is a brand NEW intake in this picture...

After dual fuel rails and installed on car. See the clearance behind the coil even though I have tilted them forward to avoid the wiper transmission.

Other pictures...

Wow alot went into that setup with the duel fuel & all, looks great! But I would love to see unmodded pic's in a car to see what has to be done to clear the wipers. I was thinking of maybe cutting the two coil bosses down about a half inch & redrilling the coil pack to move it forward about an inch or so. Has anyone done this? Thanx

 

[chasmat2316]

for 8 months no one can tell me for sure.

Yeah I hear ya! I would like to know what I'm up against before I swing the new motor in. No one seems to want to share info?

I can't tell you exactly since I have a 78 Malibu but from the top most part of my cam sensor to the top of my vacuum block is 9". This is measuring straight up from the cam sensor. My up pipe going to the throttle body is also 9" above the cam sensor. That's all I can tell you about my set-up. It's time for the GN guys to step in.....
