Not dead. But not much progress. I've been volunteering my time at a local chassis shop and now have it stuck in my head I want to tube the front end and get rid of the factory frame rails. It will give me a lot more room to access and service everything. Doesn't help that I spent a lot of money ...

yes it will cool properly, but you will have to do a few things. block off original t-stat housing opening on the head. you need to drill a hole in the head and head gasket for the coolant to flow the correct direction in the head (there is a thread with pictures on this website somewhere regarding ...

I like it. Looks like you could use a bigger tire from the way it skates around the track in your video.
