... well maybe I should hold off for 10-rib... look what Innovators West came up with for the vette guys.

Just kidding... the 8-rib will be plenty when I start to turn up the wick... just that ideas and innovation never quit... which is a good thing

FINALLY! I have 1 of the last 2 things I need to start the conversion. This Evans waterpump will be about 17% overdriven which is right in the middle of the range Evans likes to see for their street-bound waterpumps

it comes with a very generous aluminum pulley



I also ordered their 180deg thermostat

HAHAHA yeh not only did the "last piece" take 2 months to travel, but it took so long that its name change from "last piece" to "1 of 2 last things".

Grippy you make it to easy to beat on ya! LOL Even though I envy all of your parts experimenting and researching you do for us.
