Those came with the D&R kits.  I got a VERY complete kit from a guy years ago.  He said he had bought like everything you could possibly get from D&R when he got his.

Thanks,
Coop

Nice work, did you make those shrouds or did they come with your kit?

Finally started getting into figuring out the Radiators!  Wow!  This will be interesting.  Lots of pics!

More updates.  I got the fuel rail about where I want it for the vaporizer box.  Got some CV boot clamps installed too.  Well, what I'm using for that job.  We'll see how it goes.

It was up on 4 jack stands.  It wasn't going anywhere.  And had it been on the floor I would have stopped trying to crank it right away when it would have tried running over my foot.  :-)  But yeah, I have been told numerous times throughout my life that I am extremely lucky... all the time.  Being in the right place at the right time too, has been a common theme it seems.

Here are the new updates for today:

It'll make you cringe once you realize what happened here.  I post the good and the bad.  Hopefully never have to post the ugly.

Update on fumes box plumbing. . .  It's done! 
http://100mpgmotors.blogspot.com/2016/05/may-15-fumes-plumbing-done.html

Now, on to the next thing.

Windshield came in from Optic Armor.  I'll be posting about that with pics before too much longer.

Thanks,
Coop

Heat getting routed to the fumes box.  That's underway now.

Gotta hate when holes get stripped out of the head.

More updates y'all.  3 of them actually.  Got busy for a bit and didn't put any updates here for a while.

Battery mounting spot is pretty much done.
http://100mpgmotors.blogspot.com/2016/04/apr-28-batt-ah-ry.html

My vaporizer box has some details listed here.  But I got the temp probe put into it today.
http://100mpgmotors.blogspot.com/2016/04/apr-28-vaporizer-box-more-details.html

Exhaust temp probes are in.  EGT in place of O2 sensors.

I'm searching for either an O2 plug that I can drill and tap for EGT or a bushing to replace my O2 with my EGT on a 95TA LT-1 motor.  Anyone know what part number I need?
