On another note just wondering what single fan you're using? Is it for less fan/rad depth, less air intake tube interference?
Keep up the great work!

That looks really good.

As for the single fan set up. It was part of the Afco LS Radiator / Fan shroud set up that I purchased years ago for the first version of the car. I didn’t change it because it worked so well I’m just going to leave it. I’m still trying to decide if I am going to paint the radiator, shroud and AC condenser. I might leave that for version 3.0.

Default What should have been a simple project ( 11-14-21 )

What should have been a simple pan swap turned out to be a no go.

Since the current pan on the new transmission from Atomic was a standard depth I ordered a stock depth pan
as I didn't want the pan to hang down and lower then it was. Well this one didn't works so I guess at some point
I will order another one.









Just in case anyone needs to know what size the bolt is

Default Yes, I know this is overkill ( 11-14-21 )

I think I am going to rename this car to Project Overkill

Once again I am taking the passenger side header off so I can get to the wiring at the starter.







So I dropped the lock washer of course my floor is speckled gray so it blended right in.



Eventually I laid on the ground with the flashlight so I could find the freaking thing.

Default Wiring toolbox ( 11-14-21 )

So the other day I was looking at all of the tools I have collected for wiring this car and I thought I would share pictures of my tool box that is completed dedicated to wiring. So when the car is done it will be going back to my warehouse.

Default Fuel Line Routing & DEI Heat Protection ( 11-20-21 )







I need to widen this rectangular hole so the fuel line can pass through this opening safely.







I installed the DEI Heat shield and EXO-Sleeve.





I am still trying to figure out if I am going to secure the line to the firewall or just let it hang from the fuel rail. Which doesn't sound good as I type this.



This is the final AN fitting that I need to finish the fuel line.

Default ARP Battery Bolts ( 11-25-21 )

I am not a fan of battery bolts and I really like ARP bolts. Since Rad Rides uses them on their builds I might as well use them on my car.



Apparently the bolt got a little warm.



I ran the bolt all the way in to make sure it wasn't to long. Eventually I will order the correct bolt.

And that is why I didn't put much flake down over my floor when I epoxied it, too hard to find dropped parts.
