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.

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.
Can see more pics of the CAI here:

Sweet, Keith was just asking me if I heard anything about the motor. Should be good for awhile
Now you just gotta swap out your interior for gray I'll call you before I swap my dash so you could watch, should be within the next couple weeks.
