Very Nice!

which truck steam tube did you use for the rear ports?

Cadillac part #12605716

I love the maxjax for my low ceilings. It leaks sometimes, but with enough fiddling that could be fixed.

Great build, awesome documentation! And the car looks great!
Couple of questions, where did you get those axle loops? And what sizes are those wheels?

Keep up the great work! I'm sure it is a fun ride!

Got any detailed pics of how you completed the coolant cross-over set up?

The axle loops are from ECS. The weld wheels are 17x11 rear, 18x6 up front. I also have a set of 19x11/20x12 ZR1 wheels I use for the twisties.

Not really, but it's pretty straight forward.

I put the part number mentioned above on the rear so I had the 'upright' nipple off the cross over that would clear the firewall.



Then I just attached some hose to that rear upright nipple and ran it down the side of the intake manifold next to the fuel injectors and added a 'Y' connector to add it to the front cross over nipple and merge back into the original steam line:

I'm trying to avoid it... all this melted snow is making the roads wet and getting the car pretty dirty. Guess I'll just have to suck it up and probably give it a nice detail before TX after the tuning session.
