Any chance you could share some more pictures of the whole engine bay? Curious to see how things are set up overall.
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!

Tfrasca - does this rhyme with your fuel system? Thoughts, comments, problems?
What radiator is that? Where did you get it? And is there any chance you've got photos of how you had to adapt the car to get it to sit where you have it?
My shopping list:
Griffin Aluminum Drag Race Radiators 2-25185-X
Dorman 926-278 Radiator Mount Bushing
This shows the foot of the radiator with the bushing. This mounts on a plate screwed onto some sheetmetal and frame rail (via rivnut) with a pin pointing upwards to locate the bottom.
On the top are two little brackets that go from bosses on the the radiator to the original upper radiator mounts. These are galvanically isolated on the radiator side with some flange washers.
This is the most elegant solution to an improved radiator I've seen yet! Kudos!
Looking at the photos (and reading the descriptions again) I was wondering what your plan was for when you have to change the accessory belts.
It looks (emphasis on looks... might not actually be) like your oil lines go through that opening between the pulleys, but captures the belts once they're attached to the remote filter housing.
Cool car. Do you have a close up of the fuel rail mounts and injectors? They look nice and very close to(or in?) the flange!
I'm getting geared up to do the exhaust. This shows the Yother flange and a 16* cut that unwinds the angle and places the outlet perpendicular to the ground. The intent is to do this in 3" mild steel.
I'm still on the learning/exploration track with welding (120V setup, gas shielded, 0.030" wire) - does any one have any tips/tricks/advice on this? One thought I had was to use the rotary table on the mill to cut a relief (probably around 0.050") for the pipe to drop into the flange. I'm at least the downpipe away from final welding it up, but, if there are useful things to do in anticipation I'm all ears.
Ah, sweet. It seems like an ideal setup assuming the newer injectors don't mind being in the head with the associated heat.Next time the manifold is off I'll take some pictures. It's so tight because this is a 405 head using the K-jet holes. I had a friend turn the ID on the K-jet holders down to take the Bosch injector o-rings. The injector nozzles sit just on at the edge of the k-jet holder.
The fuel rail itself is affixed to a couple little brackets that are attached to the head using the k-jet bracket screws. Those are really simple: a steel tab behind the rail, a bit of 1/4" round stock, and another tab screwed onto the head. Seems nice and firm.
