Really good progress JJ...all the little things can really eat up time.

Thanks! They really do eat time, that's for sure. The devil's in the details. I got the idea for the thermostat housing from a guy with a Nova swap, also got a good PN for a hose that fits pretty well. Glad to have one more thing sorted!

Cooler air makes a BIG difference with these engines

I definitely want cool air, and I was thinking of going directly into the wheel well, but I was a little concerned about getting water in the housing if it got driven in the rain or what have you. Right now, I'm thinking of running a duct from the box down the inner fender and pulling air from the space under the floor where the battery used to be, but outside the frame and away from the exhaust.
