Looks like yours indeed, except no air con and a custom cold air intake (home made of course)... Might get a chance to post a pic tonight.

I've had mixed opinions on that front bumper though...

 

No more teasing heh...

 

Say, that engine bay looks familiar!

How are your temps without a shroud?

Nice cold air intake as well, I'm thinking of doing one on mine. Has it made a noticeable performance increase vs. leaving the filter under hood?

 

Ya, long time no talk Mills. Hows the 2 7's coming along.

My temps never get over 1/4 (I have a 165 thermostat installed) Rad. was dipped and cleaned when motor was rebuilt.
I left the shroud off since I was putting on a e-fan. maybe one day I will get it installed. Trying to decide if i want to go thermostat or relay.
Relay would allow fot it to come on everytime the key is turned on. Thermo, it would only come on when the temp got high enough.

 

Temps without the shroud... well I have never had a shroud on there, so I wouldnt know the difference, however on cool days it runs very cool, and on hot days the temp gauge comes up to just over 1/3rd up. Never quite half way up.

You may or may not have noticed the gaffer tape I used to seal around the edges of the radiator where it meets the bracket/cover. Not a stock radiator, but when I put the tape on, it ran even cooler.

Cold air intake has made noticable difference on hot weather! With the dark colour paint, the air under the bonnet heats up real hot, the body is too hot to touch heh, with the intake there, air is sucked in from out in front of the radiator. Definitely better in hot weather.
