    Arrow Finally posting s/c pics

    I'm finally getting around to posting s/c pics. Got a ways to go before it's to my liking underhood...mostly tidying up wires etc.

    Coming along nicely!

    You beat me to the punch on the billet battery hold down. I have a piece of scrap just waiting on me to get the measurements off of the Optima.

    I just got done milling my hold down out of a chunk of 6061 scrap. Our CNC is down, so nothing too fancy.

    Thanks for giving me the motivation to get it done.

    Always glad to help, I used nothing fancier than a drill press...If ya look close enough you'll see my spacing is a little off,...oh well.

    Great looking engine, but it sure could use some cleaning
    From Unimog to VX - a serious change in velocity - a small sacrifice in voracity.

    Very Nice! I especially like the legible "WARNING" on the fan shroud concerning the danger of being sucked into the SC... ;pg;

    Power brake hose nipple is open. the vac reserve canister on passenger side isn't needed since there is no plenum butterfly to open, and can be disconnected/removed.

    I do like the batt clamp, and diamond plate covers.
