Almost ready to re-install. Yep, I powder coated that fan shroud. She very pretty now......

I am missing one of the little flappy deals from the fan shroud to the heat exchanger. Such a shame to put it together without that when the rest of it is all there....

From Ratwell's site:

"If your flaps are missing then you'll have engine overheating issues just as if you had removed the hoses and left the heat riser tubes open."

scroll down just a bit.

Great link to the explanation of what these things do (the non-return flaps), and great links to places to find them. Since I don't run the aux blower moter, and have sealed my fresh air risers to prevent heated air from entering the engine compartment it seems like I might not "need" these non-return flaps. That being said, I am gonna make the missing one out of a beer can. I just need to decide which flavor now (Domestic, Canadian, Import?).

This site is just a great resource for this kind of stuff.

Thanks guys.

Pics of engine installed coming soon.

1979 carb converted.

It's about two months away from being pulled and being rebuilt.
I'll definitely post the After pictures once that's done.

Finally installed. All of the oil (OK, just the vast majority of it) stays inside of it now, which I'd say is a good thing. Now if I could just find a good aftermarket exhaust system......

I see you have a fuel filter installed inside the engine compartment. You may want to move to above the transmission. My 1971 caught fire once. I don't want it to happen to you. Looks like you have a fuel pressure regulator. Why? Looks like another place for an accident to happen. Otherwise, good job.
