Ah, the S71 project marches on!  Nice video on the TC.  I'm very eager to watch subsequent videos that cover the installation and fabrication.  Keep up the good work!

Lots going on with the S71 these days.    We're still building the turbo system, and while the parts trickle in for that project, the bodywork is nearing completion.   We hope to spray out a test panel of the DuPont Hot Hues Warp Speed Blue later this week.    We'll post pics and video when they happen.

We decided to do a test panel on the S71 Olds project to see how the Hot Hues Warp Speed Blue would look on a full-sized panel rather than just a small chip.   It looks killer.  We also used the 3M Trizact System to polish and buff the panel to an insane shine.

Here's a quick update on the Olds as we test fit the huge Bell intercooler in the nose of the S71...

Painting the body parts of our 1971 Olds "S71" project in DuPont Hot Hues Warp Speed Blue. It's the little things that make it nice.

Hi Kevin and all at the shop.
Have been folowing the progress  of the olds for some time now and shes looking mighty  fine.
spotted on U Tube your video on making use of what you have re holding the crossflow pipe from a magna flow exhaust whilst it was cut and welded and metion was made of the cutlass.
Do you intend to run all the exhaust from the turbo down one side of this system?  If so will that not create massive back pressure?

Hey Redneck,

The S71 exhaust comes out of the turbo and splits at the MagnaFlow "X" into dual mufflers with dual outlets, 3" tube.   It's a pretty typical way to exit a single turbo exhaust system, and while there will be some back pressure, the MagnaFlow mufflers are a straight-through design which will keep the path as open as possible.   If this were a race car and not intended for street use, we may run something different, but we think this is the best mix for packaging, power, and sound levels.    We'll have more on that posted here soon!

Today we're out at BTR Performance in Rochester, NY shooting the build of the S71's 422 cubic-inch stroker fuel-injected Olds engine... it's looking good so far!

The Olds 422 for the S71 is going to be a killer engine.    Trovato and crew did a really nice job with the build, and we just have to do the details when the engine is shipped back to our shop.   Things like an alternator bracket, the fuel rail hold-downs, the throttle body intake, valve covers, and some paint and powdercoating.    Looking forward to it!

The S71's engine is back in our shop after the build at BTR Performance.    We were worried about hood clearance with the intake elbow, but it looks to be OK.    Here's a camera phone snap.. it's going to be cool.    This is the mock-up engine with the new intake in place.   Still have about an inch of clearance on top!

Kevin,

Any idea when the video of the engine build will be ready? I am looking forward to see how this one was put together.

This is the first in a multi-part series covering the custom stroker engine build performed by master engine builder Bill Trovato at BTR Performance for our turbocharged 1971 Olds project called the "S71".   Although this video series features and Olds engine, the valuable, race-proven techniques shown by Trovato apply to any performance engine build.
