Glad to see you insulated your fuel lines!

Got the radiator installed, and it is tight! Had to cut a bit off of the bottom corner of the fan housing so it would not hit the passenger front strut bolt. Also tested the fans - amazing the amount of air one fan can move, each fan is rated at 2000CFM for a total of 4K CFM, this thing really blows. Added power steering fluid too, Strange Engineering drive line will be here this week. My buddy at work welded up my 3.5" exhaust.

Getting close to turning the key. :headbang:

Took the car for it's maiden voyage today, had a blast, worked a couple of little details out. The motor is amazing. Exhaust is a little loud, but I didn't build it to be quiet. Went through Sonic with the wife and got a milkshake... fun on a Saturday night.

Still a little rough around the edges, but I love her non-the-less, more actually!

[69 GTX]

lOVE IT! Sounds like it has a pretty smoth idle, what rpm? Now you need a timeslip from the strip!

 

[Gpuller]

Sounds great! Nice work. What RPM is it idling at?
What are you running for mufflers?

Idle is 980 RPM - Mufflers are Flowmaster 50's 3.5" in & out

 

[747mopar]

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's great to hear MT, nice to know it went smoothly for you and it sounds great! Oh yeah, the car is just badass.

 

[69 GTX]

How does it idle in gear.

 

[MT_Mopar]

Like one badass mofo! J/K!

Not too bad on the first drive, the idle does slow some when in gear.

I will take some more vids when I get my rear axles with new green bearings installed, hopefully my shop will have the bearings pressed in tomorrow.
