Been quite a while since I've posted an update, but progress had slowed quite a bit as the front end was figured out. It has been chopped up, modded, and finally welded back together. Still needs grinding and painting, but that's little stuff. The gear drive and blower are finalized. The radiators, aftercooler, and wastegate are done. Still a long way to go, but these were the items that were holding up everything else. Had just installed the 9" and driveshaft before it went under the knife...err...cutting torch. And Bill's Super Pro tranny is installed. Hope to have it finished before the track opens next season.







More to come as it happens... But there are more pics at winks stuff and click on Pigzilla Build.

Sweet build!
Hey man I’m doing a similar radiator support to fit my blower too. Can you post some more pics on how the cooling system and supports go together?

Thanks! Let me dig through my pics and see what I've got. I can tell you we cut up the front end quite a bit, and changed all the supports around for it to work. Partially for the radiators and aftercooler, but I also didn't want the blower mouth sticking out of the bumper. It's still gonna look stock, and be quite the sleeper. ;) Also did away with the fog lights in the bumper. Now they're air holes that feed the radiators.

Where did you get the radiators?
C&R. Don't have a model # though.

Thanks! We're shooting for between 16-1800 hp to the wheels. The cage will be legal down to 8.50. Those are Colorado numbers. At sea level it would make more, and possibly be in the 7's in the 1/4.

Thanks! I'll keep you guys updated.

Keep the updates coming!!!
Sorry, been busy as hell lately. Gotta pay for the toys right? ;) Got a few pics, nothing sexy, but still part of the build. The cooling system is done, all the plumbing, and custom supports are done. The fuel system is just about finished. Just need to pick up the stuff at the powder coater, then sand, paint, and finish the front assembly.

More to follow...
