I was thinking of dropping the engine tomorrow since I was not available today... but looking at the weather forecast for tomorrow , it is suppose to be raining the whole day so when I arrived home at 5:30, I decided to go and work on the red dragon .

A load leveler will be your best friend in times like this .. but a helping hand will also be good.

Thanks and feel free to come and pick up the SC parts you need. Do it soon before I throw parts in the garbage.Just give me a day's notice so I can be at home in Roswell. Chroming shop isn't done with my reservoir. They said it peels off .. they will try again.

I need to work on a lot of small things before I can even fire this up. Besides , am waiting for feedbacks on the AEM infinity10 ecu. I want flex fuel on the fly. I want an ECU that can adjust the tune regardless of the E85/alcohol content of the fuel I have in the tank. Which means I can fill up in any gas station and the ECU adapts and changes the tune on the fly... just like the way the ProEfi does it. But the Infinity10 seems a lot cheaper so am on a wait and see.

Meanwhile I need to bolt on my IC and spray pipings , radiator , drive shaft , auto TT diff , 4" midpipe/ HKS dragger exhaust , and button up / finish my fuel system as soon as the TXL wires / fuel tubes which are E85 friendly comes in, aside from some wirings here and there like battery relocation.

Just installed the radiator with the twin IS300 fans. Anyone who wants to go into electric fans.. these fans do the job well. I need to make some brackets to hold it in place and that reminds me I need to get the aftermarket transmission and engine oil coolers. I wonder if I can get the top of the radiator be polished to a shiny look ?
