i want to this winter but as of right now i can do full 4th gear pulls and track it with no cooling issues in 100* weather. but the radiator is a custom piece and is huge so im sure that helps.

Gordon and to slow thanks for the nice comments, still lots of work left to go.

phrost the hardest part of the re intake swap was the throttle body since i wanted to keep the idle control valve, i got the rotary works cosmo tb, you will have to modify the throttle cable and the compression elbow might have clearance issues if you are using a strut bar since the re intake is a little taller than the rew intake.

Nice Very similar to my project which is about to start in a week or two. I'll probably try ALS seals though. Is there a template for stage 3 streetport?

Talking Up and running

Went to the mechanics shop yesterday and got to start it up and drive it around the lot a little. It has been down for 2 years after the engine went out. Converted to single with the rebuild. This is a pic he sent me a few weeks ago, more work has been done since.

I've noticed that a lot of you have removed the "underhood" fiberglass protector thingy.

Has any one noticed any ill affects after removing it? Such as paint fading?

Thanks

Mike
