Thanks, I am looking for an electric twin fan with a very low profile, preferrably less than 2.5". Without that we may have to modify the radiator mount and or build a new radiator. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Pretty good day today. Bruce finished the trunk and back side wiring then moved to the forward engine compartment. He completed most of the cable wiring from front to back as well. In the engine compartment he linked everything to the distribution box and fed from there to relays for the accessories, fans, pumps, etc.

Idle time costs me money. Painted my custom valve covers to match the Whipple. So now I have two different kinds of covers.

Tried the painted GM Performance Valve Covers on today. Agreed the letters need to be touched up, my first reall attempt at stenciling and there is some residual Masking tape painted red still sticking to them but I think the effect goes well with the Whipple.

Today we finished the Battery Mounting. Bruce loomed off and shrink wrapped all the wires. He really did a fabulous job of pulliung together my accessories and adding the relays you mentioned to help protect them. I think it is going to function very well.

Began mocking up the fan today. Belt and tensioner are in and installed. Its a matter of hooking up the fan, plumbing the cooling system, hooking the evac system up and the crankcase ventilation.

Damned good week this week. Only thing between us and some Dyno time is wiring and installing the fans and radiator, then hooking the cooling system up to it. Here is the plumbing hooked up except for the radiator and the rear mounted heat exchanger. We will probably work on the hoses to clean them, up but I am very pleased with the setup as is.
