Tried doing something like that once on my old C10, the stuff I used musta been crap cause it never dried and rubbed off, had to get all the parts sandblasted. Looks like your doin a professional job, should be awesome when your done.

Looks good. Can't wait to see some numbers. I want to know how one of these custom intake manifolds does on the dyno.

P.S. I like your wheels

You better have some sweet videos, seeing as how your always the one to do everyone els'.

I couldnt help thinking while looking at your pics "yep... that theres a motor!"

but seriously, it looks very professional and very clean. It almost makes me sad because you cant get motors like this now-a-days, they are all covered in plastic.

oh and another thing, are you planning on leaving the valve cover breather like that?

looking good!! the engine looks spotless.just out of curiosity, how does the tank on the left side of the picture siphon coolant with the fitting towards the top? does it have a tube inside that leads to the bottom or does it strictly act as a catch can?

i only need it as a catch can if coolant ever pushes from the radiator (overpressurized cooling system)

^^^ Why? Have you done something that alters the coolant system? I'm pretty sure you'll need something from which the radiator can "draw" coolant as the system cools, otherwise it'll just suck air, won't it?

BTW, nice to see someone else using a Koyo on a high hp car. Gives me some peace of mind.

im using it only as an overflow tank, not a recovery tank (which would need the barb down low)...mine is no different from any other coolant overflow tank...

Your car rocks, Ryan! Love the new intake. I cant remember if I saw your car on ka-t.org, but I saw that same intake for the first time earlier this week.
