I'm running a PRC radiator meant for a chevy V8 (3" dual pass aluminum), custom intercooler pipings, and the intake manifold is from JGY (fake greddy)...I had it black chromed, trued and ported slightly. I ditched the black electric fan you see in the pick for a FFD one which works a lot better..But I still need some kind of shroud? If someone plans on getting the same radiator as me, PRC makes one with a built in oil cooler...Didn't know they offered this option till it was waaayyyyy toooo late lol. My friend keeps telling me I spit fireballs when driving :dblthumb: cars behind me will back off once they see I spit fireballs too. Wish I could see what it looks like...Lucky bastards gets to see fireballs and all I get to see is people backing off lol

I'm running a modified Trust Downpipe with custom 3" exhaust all the way back to a Magnaflow muffler...The pipes scrape when I hit a big bump, but I might be changing the exhaust set up...Still debating on it. Everything blue on the engine is powder coated. Everything that looks like reflecting black is black chromed. The crhome is nice, but it doesn't take a beating as well as the powder coating.
