Thanks, Vernski; Same to you for the holidays.

I know I have two big problems to deal with:

#1: Cooling: I'm almost sure I'll need another radiator in the bed, bigger the better. With that, I need to keep as much heat from under the truck, and have room for the coolant plumbing.

#2: What to do with the exhaust to get the heat away from the truck as soon as possible.

Both problems is probably going to take a lot of experimenting. I've had some ideas, but none of them are very good.

I've considered using something like these stacks I built for another motor. It would work, but be a pain to see around them, too noisy, and would probably cause more problems than help. Cops may even frown on them.

I'm working on trying to get all the sheetmetal in their permanent place, then be able to see what space I have to work with.

Thanks for you interest,
Cayoterun
