I found some fiberglass sleeve with a silicone jacket on amazon. I'm putting this on all the tubes down the center tunnel. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C23L2FYQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So what are the rear radiators? Gearbox cooler and oil cooler?

Printed up 4 of the air baffles and a cover for the blower. Test fitted to the car... under the dash Testing the fit of the flex duct Now I should be able to control the air output as needed. Just need to figure out how to make a baffle for the fresh air vent on the hood. If...

So i am thinking about how to make the hood vent in front of the windshield into a fresh air duct. Does anyone have pics on how they might have done it? Thanks, Rick

BTW, flaming river does make these also, they are just very pricey.

Randy, If the bevel gears are configured like the diagram below, they do not reverse direction. It's a 1:1 ratio input to output.

I did a lot of searching for duct parts to use with the AC system but couldn't find what I wanted. It looks like the default install from vintage air has the output air blowing to all vents and a cable operated baffle for the defroster. I wanted to control the blower output more like a modern...

So here's a look at the whole front section currently. I had to reroute the coolant lines a bit to make room for my spun aluminum air tank. This tank will hold pressure for the suspension lift system. Each coilover has an air piston attached that will be able to lift the car 3" or so to clear...

I got the evaporator / heater core mounted and plumbed. Used some 3/4" square tubing to mount the side brackets and allow the unit to slide forward and back until it's nailed down. I used some aluminum lines from vintage air to run down the passenger side, just inside the fuel tank. When the...

I think I worked out a good way to route the heater core plumbing. The coyote engine circulates the heater core coolant even before the thermostat opens, so I routed tubing through the center section for both supply and return. This tubing is 5/8" 304 stainless with a fiberglass and silicone...

I bought it from ebay. Looks like they are no longer available. It was intended for a chevy van though.

Got the sway bars mounted. Speedway engineering parts. Arms come as flat bars. I cut them at the bend, leaving 1/16 of material on the inside. Then they can be bent by hand to the right angle and just weld up the V.

Machined a bracket amd fittings for a nice billet set of brake and clitch reservoirs.
