Edge, who did your coating on the brakes? And what kind of coating is it? I would love to black out my rotors!

^^^ thanks man, looking forward to ripping it up this summer. Been working on small stuff, like brake lines, power steering, front drive. I actually ordered a different intake, TB and elbow from Brian at LME. That, the radiator and trans should be here next week. Trying to hide as much as possible so mount the remote PS resevior in the wheel well





Also have the a/c condenser mounted up front and those lines will run in the other wheel well

Well finally got my radiator after 6 weeks and I am not very happy. Mine is a custom size of 24 x 19. As you can see the fan shroud covers the sides so the steam hole is useless. The trans cooler ports would also be useless IF they had added them.....even though I ordered them. Why wouldn't they have made it with a single fan or at least warned me. And what is with the blue fittings. the fill cap is also welded on weird. Going to be calling first thing tomorrow! Anyone have any advice on a good shop to custom make one?

so another thing the radiator builder forgot to mention. He couldn't fit -20 fittings so went with -16...would have been nice to tell me as I would have asked him to put them in the side. Which I may still do after I get my answers below

Anyway. Two questions

1. is -16 sufficient for a 800HP TT 408 for street driving? Anyone run this size?
2. Do they make a fitting that will screw on to this that is -16 to -20 Hose? Or do I need to change my water pump fittings to -16 which is cheap enough

Thanks

Who build the radiator? Hopefully they will fix their mistake...?

Nice build! Do you have anymore pics of the headers? Blake did a good job on those.

A lot of fabricating going on so not much progress to report but want to show my new intake from LME (still waiting for TB). What do you think?

this set up from the box up to the highest point of the elbow is 14 inches! That is higher than the Holley Hi Ram right?

You using the stock core support? What did that radiator set you back? I'm trying to find something at the moment.

Stock core just cut it. Just under $1000 shipped. I am really impressed with it. Going to mock up the mounts tomorrow.
