Got the trans cooler mounted to the bottom of the trunk floor and installed. Also picked up a CSR shield and a Moroso pan for the trans.

I think the fan pulls air down thru the core. There is a fairly large air gap between the radiator core and the bottom of the trunk floor. The Derale cooler comes as an assembly, you just bolt it on. https://derale.com/products/fluid-cooler...ling-pan-detail

Whats the silver steel round tab for, to hold the driveshaft wheel sensor? Might not be the best place for it. Might try to act like a snubber. No, that is the lift hook so I can move the rear end around.

great read and a great build, id suggest a differant fuel pump, the holleys arent any good, got a buddy that had a car built and the pump was a failure from initail startup, shop that installed it has 5 other bad ones in the shop . I guess I'll take my chances. I have a Holley pump in the dyno cell and it has been working fine since day one. I like the integrated regulator and filter combo that Holley sells too even though other people tell me not to use it.

Starting to mock up the front brakes. This car has the original 4 piston disc brakes on the front but I don't think they will be up to the task of stopping the car. So I'm thinking that I'll pull the factory disc brakes off the car and sell them and then put these 13 inch rotors with Viper calipers up front. DoctorDiff sells the parts to do this swap so I'll work with him to get it all figured out. If you end up selling the front discs, I might be interested. There may be an A-body coming home soon. Nowhere near as clean as yours, though. I am always amazed by your fabrication skills. I need to learn to whip up stuff I need rather than buying it. Well done. This is a fun thread.
