72 LSA Supercharged Monte Carlo Gets NASCAR Wheels, New LED Headlights, and Heat Exchanger Install!

What happens here

The video starts by introducing the car, named "Ralph", and outlining the project's goals. This includes addressing existing issues such as the heat exchanger setup for the LSA engine, the improperly installed radiator fan, and messy alternator wiring. The plan is to install new Aero wheels, replace the existing headlights with Hella LED units, fix the crooked custom exhaust, and correct any body alignment problems.

Goal: Understand the scope and objectives of the car upgrade project.

matter what you do ralph continued in the last video you saw us fire this thing up for the first time with the boom tubes but they're unfinished they're not trimmed they're not welded they're not hung it was just laying there so we're going to finish that we're tying up some other loose ends on the car like getting the heat exchanger on there for the lsa we're gonna have to pull the blower we have to pull the grill out relocate the transmission cooler because when i put this in here years and years ago i didn't take the grill out to do it because i was lazy and there's enough room in here to have both but with the hood latch on here the heat exchanger will not fit in here and there's really nowhere else to put it because there's not that much frontal area on this thing so we're going to have to stack them or get creative with it somehow easier to do with the grille off changing headlights i had some that don't fit in there i'm not going to keep missing making holes so it's going to get some different ones that do fit oh you like this jank fan yeah i like those zip ties the way it's so tight on there yeah we're gonna have to fix that too i wanna laugh on that and announce it to everybody no it's it's okay this was like last minute drag week stuff four years ago this fan is actually left over here from the big block which had an electric water pump and no thermostat so it ran really cool all the time didn't need much fancy uh something that's not there anymore i don't even know yeah something not not too sure and we have to redo this should anyways the alternator wire should not be like this walmart speaker power wire but it's the only stuff i had laying around we were out of time once again all the reason to not butcher things together at the last minute because you deal with the repercussions of that for years like we are now years don't do it do it right
