Thank You

As far as first startup, that may have to wait a little while. I am still waiting on a backordered Fluidyne radiator. I don't want to run it any with out at least headers on it. Also, last night I ran into a problem with the JBA headers not fitting. So, I am going to have to shop for headers again. I posted about it here.

The Fluidyne radiator arrived today. It looks like it is contructed very well. The shroud we got doesn't quite fit right though. Don't you have a shroud like this? If so, did you have trouble getting it to fit? I got it from Mustangs Unlimited but their site is undergoing maintanance so here is the same one at Mustangs Plus.

The holes do not line up with an of the holes in the radiator. The radiator is double flange so those shroud mounting brackets can't be used. Also the lip on the edge of the shroud will rub on the radiator fins. So I guess I will be drilling some new holes and smoothing off the lip on the top and bottom edge of the shroud.
