Not sure if anyone mentioned it before, but I would reconsider that fan shroud if I were you.
This design works great when you stand still and the elec fan needs to do all the work, but when you're driving, the airflow wouldn't be as good true the rad compared to one without a shroud or with a shroud that has some extra openings in them. Some stock cars have extra openings with a rubber flap on them so air can pass true while driving.
Don't forget these engines get very hot.
For the rest of the build, nice work!

I made my mount for my coils yesterday. I think it turned out pretty good just need to get a lot of little things powder coated.
Brain storming
End result
Mounted in the car
Motor and tranny are back in the car. I only need to buy a few more things and with tax time coming up think I will have it all. Im really shooting for the car to be running in about 4 months.
