Still waiting on a bunch of parts, so I occupied myself with sorting out the mess of a harness and dropped the tank to start figuring out my surge tank and pumps placement. Lookin good, eh?

The crossover is going to "V" right under the harmonic balancer. The alternator is going to go in the stock truck mount that we milled off a and then bored out one of the holes. I'll dig around for some pics later. It's the same setup denmah is running in his car right now. I at least have a picture of his setup haha. Same thing.

I remember wrecking one of these back in the day with one of my buddies. We slid off the road in the rain and smacked a rock bridge.

Haha, I can't wait either. It'll definitely be a handful with the jetski trailer tires.

Still behind on parts, so I started working on the cooling system. I had an issue with the angle of the truck water pump's inlet, so I fixed it my way.
