What kind of intercooler does it have. The small one with the little fins inside or the larger one with two bundles of copper tubes? Yes I would like to know the price as well.

The previous owner moved to Oklahoma from California and let the motor freeze and a cracked block resulted. I picked it up from him and have since installed a blown 573. The price is $2000.00 plus shipping. Here's what is included in the price.
Torker intake manifold with a cast plenum on top of it "system is draw through".
Custom designed Banks exhaust manifolds. "Aluminum water cooled with pyrometers installed. Through hull design.
Holley 780 modified for turbo use -- 10 in. flame arrestor. Of course the Rajay Turbo's with custom fabricated heat shields. Dooley 10 quart oil pan with provision for return oil from the turbos. Temp sender is installed. Also oil pump and special pick up. Special dipstick. Also MSD distributor -- MSD-6 ignition box with soft touch rev limiter. Gale Banks Engineering Tall Valve Covers with Moon style breathers. Mallory electric fuel pump. Marine oil cooler. 8 Carillo 5.7 length rods -- like new. .060 Arias forged pistons "like new" for use with 76cc heads.It does not use an intercooler. When it gets on boost it uses a Hobbs switch to inject water from a 2 gallon Russell stainlees steel tank via a Nitrous style gas solenoid.
This Gale Banks system is truly well designed and trick looking. Not an adapted bunch of stuff put together like another system on the market. I really wish I had a digital camera to post a picture of this Turbo set up. It is truley as much show as it is go. Trust me!It ran a 21ft Eliminator Daytona with a American Turbine Pump 85 plus mph on pump gas.
