Looking great...what are your plans for a radiator setup? From that pic it doesn't look like there is much room in from of that engine for the radiator or intake filter. I'm sure you already got it planned out, but just curious.

Yes, I've got a plan

Theres alot of room in front of the motor actually. Ive got an AFCO core on the way and we're just going to build a radiator. We would have ordered a regular radiator from afco (its like 27x16x3) but they said its special order and would take like 2-3 weeks for completion so my fabricator said we'll just make one and it'll work out better. I like the idea too because I want to use the SS braided line and AN fittings for the radiator lines for that 'trick' look as well. I'm going to order two 10" permacool heavy duty fans and try them out. Searching through the past cooling threads some have had luck with permacool, others have not. I do not have the space to fit one larger 16" fan so thats why im going with two. The heavy duty fans are rated at 2100cfm per fan, so ~4000 should be plenty. I plan on running one full time and putting the other on a switch so it kicks on somewhat like an aux fan.

Intake filter? Filter smilter, I'll run a mesh screen and call it a day, this car wont see day to day duty I assume....
