Yep they give the radiator a nice cushy place to hang out..


So the fact that the down pipe is coated silver but the rest is coated black is driving me and all the IR heat nuts.....

Thanks bro!!



Lol...awwwww

Yeah I have to agree!!



Thanks Jarrett, shouldn't be too much longer, I hope. Maybe end of the month or early feb should be first start up. Found out that my valve covers don't support coil brackets so I'm gonna have to do a remote mount set of brackets, either that or I use the stock covers and have no PCV system which is obviously no bueno!!
Why can't you run the valve covers that are on there? They never gave me any trouble...

I could/can, but for the PVC system that I have set-up won't work as well with stock valve covers. The ones I have have a -8 Bung welded on them, and I have some lines that will run from the valve covers to an electric vane pump.

You'll be very glad you did the undercarraige clean up thing. And I'm glad I'm subscribed!

I would use 10 for the pumps, 18ga for the sensors, and at least 4 for the battery, but more likely 2 or 0. Welding cable works well for the big battery connections.

Roger!! Thanks Richard, heading out now to get the stuff I need! Also do you remember what someone told you that we "should" run for inside the tank? I remember it was 10 gauge but he said it was something special no?
