I am hoping to drive it around the neighborhood on Saturday. Everything is together I am just rewiring my electric fans. I had been using a Hayden adjustable controller for it but I killed two of those, so now I have a switch from a dodge caravan that installs in the water jacket (instead of the radiator probe) and that will trigger the fan relay, just have to run the wire. I am also adding a manual switch. Might try to sneak out for a run Sunday if everything is looking good. But that is being pretty optimistic.

If you go on a run this weekend and God forbid something goes wrong with OP give me a call and I'll bring my trailer. JUST IN CASE. NOT A CURSE! "0[CENTER][COLOR=#ff0000]Resistance Off Road

Yeah Curtis, you should get the blower. If I want to go forced induction, I should really just get some grand national turbo stuff as it would bolt up. Of course I would probably have to upgrade my fuel injection system to handle it. Maybe I can get one run in before doing more changes, lol.

Ha ha, yeah I probably should have mentioned that the only way you get "really clean metal" is with flux, details, details....
Got my fancy new intake yesterday. The new intake manifold is a bit taller than the old one and my old air cleaner was hitting the hood so I got this:
It is so low profile it doesn't clear the TBI injectors :censor:
Back to the drawing board.

This place is super cool. I can spend all day just browsing. It's been there in the same place since the 20's I think.[CENTER][COLOR=#ff0000]Resistance Off Road
