All I can say is AWESOME!!! Looks Great. Looking at your pics I see your running electric fans. Is that a dual setup or single and how's the running temp. I see your also running the aluminum radiator, what brand you running and how's that holding up also.

Thanks...the fans are a dual setup....... the cars runs at a solid 180 degrees in 90 degrees and humid weather.... the rad is summit brand which has been in the car for 6 years with 0 troubles

Been thinking of the electric fans or go with the clutch fan with maybe a pusher in front of the radiator. When you went with fans are they to a switch both together or separate when needed. Cool setup.

Looking good Mike, I didn't recall seeing any pictures of the exterior, it looks as clean outside as it does in the engine bay. Very impressive. Have you or do you plan to take it to the track?

Nice build. Where did you get the throttle body elbow and how much?

Thanks Johnny. The throttle body is from TBI set up. The elbow I had custom made I paid around 200 for it. Search around the internet you never know what you will turn up
