Great pics Mac. Good to see more progress. But I know them walmart cameras got around 20 or so pics in them. So where are the others?

Got juice in the block over the weekend: Nearly 6.5 gallons worth. Poured 50/50 anti-freeze through the thermostat hole first - filled the block - put everything together and tightened everything up (including the new heater hoses), and filled the radiator.

A small drip from the bottom hose for a moment (the custom clamps like to be perfectly round and the bottom radiator fitting was a bit oval), but I tightened the fitting down hard and it sealed.

Mounted the catch cylinder and hooked up the return tube - with a few strain reliefs to hold it in place.

Mac.
