Nice job Nate.
I'll admit that I got most of my inspiration from your car. Laid things out in similar fashion.
Before you went and changed it all.
What did you do for a posi?

Yeah but my video camera is ancient and I need my wifes help to figure it out.
Thanks!
Single stage enamel with an eggshell sheen iirc. Has a rubber boot from McMasterCarr.
Start the run around 50 degrees with adding a small bag of ice to 3/4 full tank of water, ends 1/4 at 100 on 30psi. I dont have any pics as its kind of hard to take any up under there.
9" with a 35 spline spool for now.

Just read through your entire thread. Bad *** car for sure...love everything about it.
Seeing the radiator laid down certainly makes me want to try the same thing.
Thanks for sharing all your nice work and congrats on the 8's

I dont have any pics of the actual surge tank but I can describe it. In this picture you can see where the top radiator hose was moved down and just below it there is a -10 bung. A line goes from that to the bottom of a small tank. Like this one http://www.jegs.com/i/JOES+Racing+Pr...45010/10002/-1
You now fill the radiator from here. It also has a small port near the top that the cyl head steam ports tie into. The port from the bottom of the radiator cap goes to a universal clear washer tank I got from the parts store for $10. The surge tank gets filled close to the top ust like a radiator would. The overflow in the trunk gets checked after every pass. A little water is fine. Half full means you need new head gaskets lol.
Here you can see the overflow in the far left.
