Update on my t-type BBB - Deck lid pics

ay mike how much was your hood and were did u get it from wat size inch is it

 

4" from VFR . I dont remember the cost, but it was the "pin on" for less than the "bolt on".. find the web site, the price will be on it. They have pretty good stuff for glass. they are in Chicago.

 

I can smell the fuel burning now :TU:

Yes, the water pump bolt will be cut shorter. :boring:

 

My headers hit the passenger side upper control arm and the was no notching it to gain clearence so I ended up getting tubeular upper control arms off E-bay nice and light and problem solved.
I am using a Griffin rad. that is a replacement for the turbo V6 rad., it fit with no mods. It has two 1" tubes, for a fan I used the new style Spal set up that fits the rad. perfectly from tank to tank and from top of core to bottom. The whole core is covered by the shroud. Got it off E-bay also(company called Universal www.universalpartsinc.com phone# 866-730-7169 $249.00 included the pigtail harness) Spal part number 30102130 (dual 12" fans). They pull alot of amps so I had to run a relay to each fan. I have under drive pulleys and no thermostat and on a 90* day after a pass back in the pits the water temp is sitting at 180*.
Hope some of this helps
Don

Quick update!

 

some more .. still can't figure out how to get the vids to load...

Like I mentioned on the other "my dyno pull" post.... Time to fire the guy who made the passenger side header............. Dick. The car is 10lbs ligher and the number two tube still has a gap on the top right side part of the port. F er..

 

Put some 3" pipes on that thing and a set of resonators and then a QUIET set of mufflers and go out pink-slip-sniping for the chopstick crowd- they'll never know what hit 'em. Only give away to the sleeper image would be the carb & air cleaner stickin outta the hood of Grandmas' car...ou:
Nice toy!
Robert

 

Thanks !

My buddy's say the same thing... But the funny car style cage and 3 1/2" pipes might kill the look. The hood should cover the air cleaner. I was thinking the rust and faded paint might help?
