Great article Mark and another great build. I'm sure you get this all the time but the quality and attention to detail of your builds in a huge inspiration to me. As an engineer myself I can appreciate the effort and time it takes to make a classic car perform the way yours do. I also try to echo your strategy of using as many OEM, factory tested parts in my build as I know how much testing goes into developing them! I'm up in New England but hope to see one of your builds in person one day!

Great article! How are the QA1's so far?

Installing a C&R Racing Rad.

Trying a new mounting strategy after failing a couple.

Looking at the two inlet/outlet holes on the DS of the radiator, can i assume you ditched the stock oil cooler due to clearance issues and are running the engine oil through the radiator for cooling?

Correct, we removed the factory LT5 oil cooler and used the one in the C&R Racing radiator.

When you thought you'd filled the tank, air is still trapped in the pie dish void and the fuel nozzle cuts out. The pinhole allows controlled venting to occur, so that when the fuel increases in temperature and volume (now that it's out of the ground), it swells into that void and doesn't puke out the vent lines.
THATS WHY YOU DON'T TOP OFF AFTER THE FIRST CLICK.

TOOmuch vent chamber gives the liquid/air time to settle out and is a great feature........but can't cope with massive west-coast changes in temp out of the ground vs. cooking in 95* ambient.

Aftermarket tanks don't have this feature.
Competing claims to the largest volume compared to the competition?

Carl?

I'm sure it may be still early to tell, but we've had a few 80+ degree days, so wondering how the fuel tank system is working out as far as smell/expansion, etc.?
