With a shroud any decent dual 16" ones will work.

Thanks AK. I'm tryin to find a way to mount the coolant crossover so that it isn't attached to my intake. I'm making my own intake for it, I just don't want the coolant lines running through all that aluminum and mild steel.

May have to find a 01-02 model and cut up the intake or run some new lines.

Working on moving ABS module to somewheres other than next to the exhaust manifold. A lot of lighting guys delete the ABS but the initiative of this setup is to tow more effectively, so I want to keep my abs.

Gotta do a before and after. No it wasn't leaking antifreeze. I just didn't drain it because the whole block was coming out.

Lots done today besides the stitches. Block will be done Monday. Boring it 20 1/1000 over to help with my compression lowering. 500 total for block decking, boring, honing, wash, and rotating assembly put on. Can't beat that. Guy races mopar at thunder valley and is great and cheap if you bring it in yourself. He is old school and hates shipping.

He talked me into eagle pistons and I beam rods!!! Got them both for well under 1800 plus rings and bearings. Amazing guy!!
