I haven't updated this in a LOONNNNGGGG time. Sorry about that. I am making progress. Ikve been working on a scraper/baffle system for the oil pan. The 2nd mock-up pieces are cut out, I just have to assemble them, put them in the pan, and check for functionality. Once that is done, then I can button up the bottom end, and I can plop the head on it, finally! I'm not setting a time frame because lord knows how long this is going to take.
I think I've also decided that the TU radiator is going to be too small. I might be selling it to get a larger radiator, maybe even a double pass, but iKm trying to figure out the bennefits of that design. I have pictures of my progress, I just need to upload them.
