Well, the fuel tank is in and the sump looks killer. Blends right in. Just the way I wanted it too.
Now mock up time. I picked up a (I belive this is what it was from) 69 cougar xr7 3 core radiator off of eBay last year sometime. Has the correct in and out placement for a ls and the correct hight and width for the nova. Fits well but I need to get a couple of pieces of aluminum to add onto the sides to I can bolt it in place.
And yes, I have a whopping 2.5" between radiator and water pump.

Well, radiator installed and I put a couple of ***** of tinfoil on the radiator and set the hood on just to make sure it wasn't to high. Fits perfect with no issues.

dude....lol Nothing had happened. In spring of 2016 my wife and I sold our house I built in 2003 and bought 5 acres of raw land(pretty much all trees). Spent most of 2017 building a new house. Now I'm working on house projects to get me back to comfortable. (Powered gate, 2000' of fencing, raised garden beds, garage door opener, epoxy garage floor, build bench in garage.....ect) went from build a Nova to building a new house again. Hope to get back to wrenching on it in the fall. I walk past it almost every day and apologize to it...lol
