But you won't be running the 315 square, I guess?

The Plan is the run it square. I went in with a friend to buy one of those wheel size calculators. You mount your tire to it, and mount it to your hub. You can then move the tire around and calculate the offset of the wheel needed. So I should be able to get the perfect fit. Hopefully. Hope to fit it on an 18x11.

Wow. We'll try our luck with 275s..

Which brand did you get? I plan on buying one when I start looking to purchase wheels. PM me if you sell yours after you get your setup dialed in.

Wheel Fit Kit (Click Picture)

Parts Came in and I am taking my radiator in to get the -20an fittings welded on.

These -20AN Fittings are huge. Can't imagine 24an

Ordered the wrong fitting for the steam port line into my expansion tank -_-

DustinS · 03-06-2018, 11:00 AM

Got to working on the bracket. Found a CAD file of the caliper I am using. Super helpful. May have a source for the Hub to make it even easier.

DustinS · 03-07-2018, 09:38 AM

Got the radiator finished up yesterday. I had them switch the inlet/outlet sides to better match the water pump inlet/outlet

Cut could have been a bit cleaner...

Little bit of an easter egg. Owner of the shop wasn't too thrilled they used these as a plug because they protrude into the radiator, but shouldn't make too big a difference and it's pretty neat. Have a good one on my keychain to match.

More 3D parts. Not sure on the actual dimension of the large oval part, and ignore the floating piece in the middle, but Manifold outlet to 3". Would be way too much to actually make, but still pretty cool to design up. Need to work out that crinkle, but it works for now.

Does it have to have that hard 90 ?

DustinS · 03-09-2018, 02:01 PM

I honestly don't know how much room there is to work with. I just know there isn't a lot. So possibly not.

You are doing "V" mount on radiator? Hard to tell of the angle of picture

Yes Sort of.

Went off this picture:

Will need cleaned up a bit on my car.

I can then hopefully duct the radiator and have better airflow to the filter.

I have also decided to drive the engine to Texas Speed. It's only a 9 hour drive, and my 9-5 should be able to make it there and almost all the way back on one tank of gas (Depending on how heavy my foot is). Means I save quite a bit of money on shipping. Going with a friend and plan to drive back same day. He is telling me to just offer to take a normal 6.2 short block back with us and go twin turbo haha. That way I don't have to wait for them to build it and send it back.

Dang... you're driving all the way to Georgetown? Wow... have a safe trip. I'm like 4 ish hours from Georgetown.

Btw... build threads like yours are my favorite thing to keep up with on the forum and other social media. Keep up the awesome work!
