I just ordered an Alumitech radiator with dual 11" electric fans.

Not that you will ever need to think about it again once installed but I am sure you will really appreciate that radiator once it is in place! It cooled my car off too much and I had to get a hotter stat for my car so I'd say it did a great job.

I got the radiator/fans combo yesterday. Man, what a work of art.

I ordered a carb today, Holley 4150HP, 900cfm +/-, custum tuned by Prosystems. It's going to be built to my engine specs and should make a huge difference over the Edelbrock 650cfm that came on it when I bought it, which I believe is way too small.

Spent some time cleaning and painting more parts, great weather for it today!

Finished cleaning the intake manifold and got it painted.



Also sand blasted my M21 and steering shaft.



I used Eastwood's Aluma Blast paint on the trans. I know they were raw aluminum from the factory, but this is a driver and I don't want it to tarnish again.





Doing what I can while I am waiting for the machine shop to finish my cylinder heads. I still have a bit more detailing in the engine bay to complete.

Thanks, at this rate... it might be done by the end of this year. I won't hold my breath though, been working on it for 15 1/2 months as it is. On the bright side - interior is done, paint mostly done. Car has been in the family since June of 06'.

I guess their ears were burning after my post yesterday, got a call around noon today from the machine shop...





I'll install them after work tomorrow, and measure for pushrods. Maybe even install the harmonic balancer while I am at it.
