I would get a large fan that is at least 17" in diamater like a standard box fan, and mount it in front of the radiator. for a temp gauge you could get away with using a radiator cap with a thermometer on it, they sell them in summit, 6lbs-16 lbs I think, for around $20. as for a starter button, any momentary automotive grade switch should do, a 10 or 20 amp switch should do, if you want to go hi tec, you could order 1 of the ign panals from summit with the on off toggle switch and the rubber coated push button mounted on a nice aluminum panal as for the 10 ga wire, that will be plenty. as for the heat of the exhaust , I know there is heat resistant stuff you could use that will work, maby even wrapping the tubes in headder wrap, and then using a heat resistant insulation around it going thru the wall, maby like what they use to insulate furnace chimney's with ( the steel chimney's ), they get pretty hot, along with the headder wrap you should be good. and if u need quiet, get a stock muffler or a turbo muffler, they quiet up as you rev an engine up. and for fuel supply, an above deck portable fuel tank would work good.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
