Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve updated the thread…

Since last post I’ve made progress here and there. I had to modify a pressure hose from a '94 Camaro in order to fit into the Caprice pump. Basically, a section of about 4" of tubing was removed and a new end put on. Once that was taken care of the next item of business was the radiator and fan set-up. I went with this radiator from Summit for $260:

I had to poke some holes near the core support for the hoses to come through, also note the rubber foot for the radiator to rest on:

Here is a shot of the upper radiator area, along with the new intake elbow and K&N filter. Also, note how snuggly the Taurus SHO electric fan and shroud fit.

I also polished the fuel rails…wasn’t digging the black and thought with the intake elbow and exhaust pieces that polishing up the fuel injection was a little icing on the cake.

Here’s a shot showing the radiator secured in place along the core support.

I’ll have some more pics tonight hopefully since these pics are a few weeks old now.
