Take a look here. It's in the drag tech section. I have his old car and have re done a lot of the car for a drag setup. It's a stock radiator. I hope it keeps this engine cool.

Well ya. They are posted in this conversion section and the FS section. They will fit tight with the th350. You will need to heat one of them up and bend it away from the tranny a little. I want $500+ shipping for all of it with the exhaust. It's a really nice setup.

I'm on the home run stretch now, thank god. It's been a little over a year now.

I used a BMR adj alt bracket. They are pretty cheap and work great.

I'm gonna guess on shipping and say around $80 to $100 worst case. It will be in two boxes and pretty big ones at that.

There is a plug on the harness that goes into the alt and the stud on the back goes to the battery.
