^^^Yea I figured I would try anything to help the big block keep cool.

Alright guys im stuck here. Im trying to find a certain fitting for my hydroboost return line. I have a bunch of AN lines and fittings left over so im going to use them to make an AN return line. This is the fitting im having a hard time finding them. Im looking for one with instead of a hose barb end it has a 6 AN male end. I cant find it anywhere so any help is appreciated.

Not really much to update. I got the front bumper cover off and old core support out in preparation for removing the engine. Its so weird seeing it like this :lol:

I just noticed you run the coolant lines from the back of the heads...not many do that but it's a good idea to keep the temps even..

Yeah, I like doing theat when the intake has 4 corner ports on it- did it on a 60-over 350 I had.

This build is awesome! I love that shifter!! Looks like the one in the movie "Highwaymen" with Jim Cavaziel. The crazy guy in the cadillac had a similar shifter.

Im not sure if im going to be able to keep the corner cooling on the passenger side because of the distributor vacuum advance. The 90 degree fitting doesnt let the distributor turn enough it seems.

Well the 400 is out. Now I gotta wait for my buddy to get the $500 to buy it and get it out of my way. I am going to clean everything up and paint it. I also have to pull apart the front suspension to install the new Moog springs, 2" drop spindles, and tubular Speedway uppers which should be fun without the weight of the engine :?
