Lokar dipstick installed. Sure is close to the headers. I wish they had one longer than 24". I think I'm going to call tomorrow and ask if they have a longer version.

Fan attached to shroud. I had to drill two virgin holes holes in the shroud so it would be even clamping on both sides.

Tip of the morning. Making -AN fittings. Cut the line to needed length. Fray out the stainless. Install the olive. Use a wrench to hold the olive and push down on the line. Pull the olive off. Use an angle grinder to cut the stainless steel braiding down. This step alone will save you 45 minutes by not using a pair of ******* dikes to trim. Reinstall the olive and pull the jam nut up. Put the end with the hose in a vise and clamp the jam nut. Step on the braided line and tighten the fitting down.

It took me two hours to do 2 fittings. 15 minutes each to do the last two fittings. Got the transmission lines done though.
