Got the radiator, trans cooler, and fan all in place. Hopefully for the last time lol. Got the new throttle cable in. I think I will actually be able to run this thing without extra springs. So I’m going to hopefully do away with the big goofy carb style bracket and springs. And as I was afraid, the stud on the end of the throttle cable is too short. Either going to grind down the throttle body arm to make it thinner so more of the stud comes through enlugh to get a bit on it, or maybe bolt a thing bracket to the TB arm and then attach the cable to said bracket. I’ll mess with it more tomorrow hopefully.

Anyways some shots of the radiator/support setup.

Nice build! Been watching it for a while now. Sounds great. What does the “710” on the oil cap stand for?

Very good possibility! I really do like them. But they are salty. I like the MAST covers as well. They’re $400 without coil brackets and $550 with. And I really do like they’re design for the coil packs. You can pull the valve covers without involving them. But I’m really looking to relocate mine somewhere off the engine.

After looking at the cost of Katech valve covers + relocation kit at $805 it looks like the Holley's will be gutted/grinded. FML

The pro forms like I have are only around $350 with coil relocation brackets. Or don’t buy them and make your own.

I really like the look of the motion raceworks as well. Just don’t know anyone who has ran them with MAST heads and shaft mounts.

I do like the motions too but not going to be a guinea pig. I'm headed to my buddy's shop tomorrow to see how much more needs to be ground out. He's got the baffle out but still dont quite clear. I'll take some pics if they work out.

You said you’re running the same heads right? What rockers? T&D? Aluminum?

No. Once I saw the piece in person, I understood the price. With that said, it is still not in my budget on this build.
