Nice work though in what looks to be tight quarters...
Your standing in line for a V8? that would be great! The 55K also starts getting warm in traffic so this is a required addition to the conversion unless you live in Alaska. It is not a huge problem but I got tired of worrying about it and watching the guage.

I Just got finished driving around town and it hit 101 this afternoon in Dallas. The temp guage was rock solid and sitting right in the middle of the guage. I even got caught in bad traffic where I had to watch a traffic light turn green three times before I made it through. Still no problem. There is some presure on my shroud where the top radiator hose rest against it. It is pushing the shroud down just a bit and is very close to the fan. I am going to try a C43 upper radiator hose.
