Started off the weekend making new radiator mounts as the ATI crank pulley sits out further than my old one and the radiator didn't fit with the engine in the car.







They still need finalized and cleaned up, but I like them so far. Glad I had to redo them, the welds were garbage with little to no penetration. Need to set it up better for the thicker material.

Moved on to new steam lines



Old ones were pretty shot:



Finalized placement of the oil filter relocation. That sucked to install with the engine in the car, but I made it work. I installed rivnuts to make removing it a lot easier. The tool fit just enough to get them seated.



Lines routed out of the way of the heat from the manifolds.



Made an adapter for the factory oil temp sensor so I can use the one in my cluster.



I really need to change the steam port setup. They suck to install and it looks like a mess. I'm also afraid it's going to leak really bad.



Engine is almost all wired/plummed up. Just waiting on the 45 degree -20an fittings.
