Nice, getting close now!

Got a little motivation since the motor is built and shipping out, so I went to Sears and bought some more craftsman tools

Pulled out the old radiator and HB heat exchanger...Installing the new ones tomorrow. For those that want to see the difference in them. Both the new radiator/heat exchanger are made by Afco.

Also, you can see where I made a mount and mounted my new breather can where it sits perfectly behind the bumper

 

[Wicked One]

Looking great. best of luck with it.

I have the afco H/E but I could not use the studs on the H/E for the pump, had to get creative. The pump I am using is the upgraded Bosch. Just something to keep in mind.

Nice to see some of the parts going back in the big black thing.

fit like a glove...The old one was actually harder to uninstall than installing the new one.

Im really pumped about tomorrow. Finally going to see a real car on a dyno.

Yeah me too, been looking forward to it all week. Going to load it up on the trailer this evening and swap in some new spark plugs for tomorrow.

Would say I would have a hard time going to sleep tonight in anticipation. But, hell I have been up since yesterday at 1300 at work and still their.... LOL! Have too pay for my habit, going sleep like a rock!
