You're going to put in a 500+ HP motor -- and my '56 Nomad weighed 4,000 pounds....

I know you don't drive like a couple of other idiots you call friends :knock: .... but think about following Charlie - and we're cruising up the road (no speeds mentioned here) and he puts on the binders in one of his super cars.... His stopping distance will be FAR FAR shorter than yours.... so even if you had adequate distance off his back bumper... Well, just sayin'.

Nice stuff Ken, who's heat exchanger did you go with ? When I got my C+C kit it took a month because they were waiting for the trans controller.

I usually bolt them to those cheap ass furniture dollies you get at Harbor Freight and a 4 X 8 Sheet of plywood... cover it for protection and push it out of the way.


SO much easier then to access everything else.
