And not a single f$ck was given. lmao! haha.. oh well I am used to talking to myself.
BTW does it not suck when you finally get some time, and the weather puts a stop to the project. this summer i plan to have a garage and a lift! would be nice have it now.

thanks for replying, I start wondering if anyone reads these things. Because of the weather, I am labeling wires. Since im using almost everything in the engine loom, im working on a harness.. fun! this is going to be the hardest part for me. only one way to learn it i guess.

so i had to do something other than wiring so, i installed a battery box, and connected the power steering completely. I even filled it with fluid and spun it up with my drill. I was amazed how much torque it took when i had someone in the cab turning the wheel. it stopped my 18 volt drill!
good news is there are no leaks, and the person turning the wheel was amazed how little effort it took. she is gona steer sooooo nice.

a little more progress. I did not want to try to stuff a trany cooler and an oil cooler in front of the radiator. so I stuffed this awesome cooler in the engine bay. It is a dual fluid cooler, one for the trany, the other for oil and has it own fan.
The first issue is air flow, where will the fan push the air? so I welded in a louvered deal. may help get some of the heat out of the engine bay. I'm hoping it works ok, if not I'll make a shroud funneling the air to the louvers. I get my hand up in there and there is some good airflow. we will see!
linked a video of it running, the sucker really sucks, or blows, or whatever. the odd noise is not the fan, it is the power prob i was using to power up the fan.

next i worked on installing the cooler lines. One fitting left to get and then I can do the final assembly of the front end stuff! The braided hoses and AN fitting are really awesome. I hope there are no leaks, but I did take my time. both oil and trany fluid have inline filters, and get ran through the cooler. I should be able to do 80 up hill in the desert and stay cool! lol

the stock intake has a box on the bottom that there is just not room for and the angle was off just a bit, could work but i decided to build one. use a 3 inch exhaust U fitting and cut it in half, then got the angle right and welded together. drill and weld in a pile for the vacuum with a bit of brake line for the smaller tube. Little paint, and a bracket and this sucker looks great and is solid.

so, the radiator is not installed, and the trany lines are open but I wanted to start this thing. freaking runs and sounds like a dragster! tomorrow ill get the radiator in and finish up some wiring. still lots of work to do but man what a feeling to fire it up!
sorry for the poor quality of the the first one, I have no idea why that camera did such a crappy job!
the second one is better, and yes i was expecting the trany fluid. My buddy was not lol.
the first fire up
the second
love how smooth it runs, and does not move an inch!
