The last few weeks have been all about cooling and power steering in an effort to get everything underhood completed.

 

Main shipment of power steering parts

Derale Fan/shroud came in. Fit and finish are excellent.

Pleasantly surprised to find that the fans are SPAL.  2000 cfm each

Going to have to drop the rad down an inch or so to accommodate the thickness of both the rad and fan shroud

Ebay fuel pressure gauge started leaking oil already, so it will be replaced with this Aeromotive one

Majority of the last shipment came in today.  Waiting on the Canton surge tank, swivel tstat housing and oddball fitting for the tank

Made some drop mounts out of aluminum tube, rubber well nuts with 10-24 threaded inserts, ss all thread, and ss hardware.  Not that it matters, but i didn't have to modify the car at all with these.

Hey free shirt

Finally weighed the sound deadening and "over panels", and I was pleased with the savings.  Most likely another 5 lbs in the shop vac and a bit more unaccounted for

I just had my first child a week ago so i haven't gotten much done.  However some of the grandmas came over a couple of days ago, and I did manage to get the clutch slave cylinder fittings swapped over and bolted onto the trans
