Got the brake lines started. Using 3AN stainless fittings and 3/16 stainless lines... Not real happy how these came out so they may change.




Intake came in and I couldn't resist tossing it on the engine




Well Finally got the PCM mounted. I used MSD isolators to avoid any possibility of shorting it out.





Shortly after cleaning the garage up I got a call from the boss and he let me know my "spot" in the shop had opened up...

So I immediately loaded it up and had it at the shop at 8am the next morning.



In it's spot



Started on the radiator first... FML






Next I pulled out the outlet from the waterpump and welded up a 90 to kick it straight up to the inlet of the radiator.


After much thought I cut up the thermostat housing and made some parts on the lathe to make my own housing. This will be a huge help in getting the outlet of the radiator hooked up.




My rod-ends made it and screwed them on to give you the idea of how we are using the radiator support bars. Beats the hell out of using nuts to pinch a bracket on top of the radiator. The rod ends in the first pic are aluminum. The lower pic is stainless. I think I'm going to run the stainless ones after a bit of work on the buffing wheel.




Also got my big nasty Spal 2082 Fan... 16" Paddle blade is wicked and should pull the truck along with the CFM it pulls... HYBRID? LMAO
