Also finding myself having to redo a few things. The radiator and thermostat housing bungs just don't line up well enough with the fittings on. So I'm relocating them. Since I'm making my own AST, I don't really need the capacity of the thermostat housing, so I chopped it off, and now I'll weld a flat cover on it and then add a -16AN bung coming straight out of it. This will go to the top of the radiator.
Chopped up this piece that I've spent a lot of time on, but that happens I guess.
I'll clean up the top of the water pump housing too, and add the -16 bung to it, and also delete all the old nipples that are pressed into it. And a -10 bung for the heater core hose.
I also had to give myself more room for the piping to bend gradually coming out of the FMIC, so I had to go straighten out the brackets to make it completely vertical. This will make ducting a lot easier, and smoother bends for the piping.
More updates coming soon!
