[Shifty]

You do nice work sir!  Looks great! 

[chevn-up]

Thanks Shifty. I see my digital camera takes lousy pics. Gonna use my android from now on. Starting to look like a truck again.

[Shifty]

Whatcha got going with the heater hoses?  Do I see copper pipe?

[chevn-up]

yep. just moved the hoses inboard a bit since I am not using the inner fenders.

[Shifty]

I figured it was something like that! 

[JohnnyPopper]

Great Progress!

What is your thinking on not using inner fenders?

[chevn-up]

JP.. it's what I want to do.

the replacement radiator

[chevn-up]

mocked-up the intake today. I believe it will work.

That looks really good. Very clean and professional.
I think you will find that intake elbow on top of the carb to be restrictive. I built one similar for a stockish .305 and ended up ditching it because it choked out the engine at mid-upper rpm. Cant even imagine if I tried to put it on a 350 with some performance improvements.

[chevn-up]

MrD. You are right. I have read the articles/reviews on this carb plunium. With my 600cfm carb and 273 rear gears, I won't be hitting over 4,000 rpm very often. Nothing that can't be changed if needed. Thanks for the input.

[JohnnyPopper]

I get it- why hide all the beauty you created? BUT, you'll rue the day you drive through a mud puddle. 

[chevn-up]

Yep JP. Hard to get it pretty, harder to keep it pretty.

[JohnnyPopper]

So you went with a shorter radiator to allow for the Air Filter box? In the pic it looks shorter but I could be wrong.
