Nice, I can't wait for the turbo silliness.

Can I get a better shot of the accessory drive? Where did you get the idler pulleys? I have a few ideas and those just may work for me.

So frusterating new radiator is sapose to be 26x19.shows up 25x18 and the core is 1.5 narrower than the one that I was replacing.now have to exchange this one and get a bigger one.the p/s pulley is a p.o.s. and does not fit for &$@!. But cbm said they will give me 20$ back for my troubles if I choose to keep it and machine the belt.to make it fit. I really hate this part.
