3400 mods
#11
i have the l67, as probably noted, so i am just thinking that there is not too much different that could need to be done to intercool a 3400.
On a CSC'd 3400, you would route the air tubing coming out of the supercharger through an air to air intecooler mounted in front of the radiator- and then route the piping back to the throttle body, just like you would in a turbo setup.
Both accomplish the same thing though, just one cools the air with air, and the other cools the air with water which gets cooled with air.

I did find a site where a guy was selling a kit, and had some more pics:

You can see the fan shroud needed cut up- so that may be a clearance point too. Although, he does say he can provide mounts for a '3400 wbody'.
That made me think its been done before, so I did some searching, and we apparently have a member with the rsm kit on his monte:

From that, it looks like it fits fine, not sure what is needed to adapt it then.
However, if you do some searching about the RSM kit, there have been some problems with it:

THE BAD
1. Bearing Failure
2. Cheap Machine Keys = sloppy tolerences
3. PCM is the stock program with a few things turned off in it (not properly tuned)
4. Kit removes the MAF sensor which, is almost a necessity to properly tuning the engine.

As for the long shaft bending and trashing bearings, I don't know how bad it really is.
Also, if you look into RSM racing (and why they exist under a different name now)- they are a pretty shady company.

Doing a google search there are many more hits about various RSM Racing customer service problems.
