Still waiting on parts, radiator, Evans water pump and 160deg thermostat.
Been working on installing the trans temp gauge.
Went to the local electronics store and purchashed some 4 pin connecters
Modified the front vent to work as my block off plate with the gauge.
At night, the backgroung will be light blue, so I can find the gauge at a glance.

Test fit the radiator, it is direct fit.
Evans pump with large pulley, to be used with 25% underdrive balancer.
Waiting on the Evans coolant, fittings and hose to plumb the trans cooler.

Radiator,water pump install and coolant conversion completed.
Trans temp, 170 with cooler in radiator only and engine temp 188. These numbers were taken with my heat gun after taking the car for some stop and go traffic and some hard launchs.
I let the car idle for approximatly 20 minutes and the fan kicked on for less than a minute.
Fittings for the external trans cooler should be here tommorrow.

Apparently people can't read through the thread. Keith does top notch work and is very meticulous. Seen this car in person a few times during the build. There is a reason its taken a while. Its called doing the job right

Tonight, we are off to the track. Giving the car shake down runs in all types of driving, so far no issues.
Tranny cooler installed. Looking up from bottom of car
Bottom view tranny line (return) hookup.
Tranny cooler fan if needed, to use on return lane at the strip or in traffic. What the Nascar boys use to help cool the brakes.

A good night at the strip. Ran the Pro class, 12.00 and faster.
Tranny temps after runs, 158.
Coolant temps, rock solid 180.
The car pulled like a bandit and left staight.
Drove the car 100 miles, to and from the strip and no issues.
Several people came up to me and commented how the car looked, thinking it would be a 13 second car.

Have not ran the car since the videos. Been waiting for parts.
The stock seat felt as if the back was flexing on the hard lauches, so I upgrade the seat. Just finished the install.
Was going to upgrade to a vaccum pump system. After talking to the manufacturer rep, it would not benifit me at this time with engine I am currently running . So, I did what I think is best for my current set-up.
Fittings should be here this week to finish the install.
