EDIT: Forgive the spelling / gramma. It's this silly I-Phone.

Thanks Fellas, Don't think it gonna see any action yet. Still need to get a provincial inspection and the wife says she wants it now (Yeah right) av only had to truck two days. Have a Circle-D 2800 stall Convertor lined up. Cannot get a hold of Burch for a transmission. The stoker ain't gonna hold 800hp. Anyone recommend a tranny builder?

Anyhow, More work to the SC kit.

Removed the garbage 5/8 OD - 3/8 ID barbs from the IC.



Drilled and tapped the holes.



Then fitted 1/2 pipe - 3/4 Barbs. 5/8 & 3/4 for comparison.



Then drilled and tapped the manifold for the IAT sensor. Relocated FRPS. The lightning inlet hits it.

Well. Decided not to turn this into the 'Crazy bunch' just yet.

Don't wanna spend the entire summer in the garage. The summers are short and winters are long.

So just messing about. Did the axle seal and cleaned the ends / brakes up a little.



New E brakes. Cheap as chips.



Just temporary. The axle will be comming out, box off blah blah.
