    • didn't get a lot done on this today - but got started with a cooling mod



      see the problem?


      I need to close this gap up a bit, but ultimately I'll simply move the intake up and put a shade on the top so it draws first from the bottom...

      it does look good

        • That's quite an issue.... I'm sure you can resolve it!

          • empty box is good

            yeah not so much.... the list was right, just didn't have enough sub-parts

            the biggest one....

              • I made an executive decision.... not using this one


                mostly because if you look in the hole, you'll see the cooler tube takes 2/3rds of the tank.... so I got to looking for options and it appears a C5/C6 Z06 (7.0 liter) radiator is just what the doctor ordered.... so I ordered it anyway and didn't tell them I wasn't a doctor.....

                • So I bought a radiator... from Entropy Corporation. I hope it gets here....

                  • it's here, will it fit?

                    Like a glove


                    with the fan

                    and worked on the throttle cable

                    some disassembly


                    headed to the Reno Air Races - so no updates for a bit...

                      • for those who think it is impossible to take 4 days to install a throttle cable, I say AH HA



                        only problem is the pedal doesn't travel far enough to get WOT.... sigh, day 5 coming soon

                        • I know it would be complicating things, but would you need a intermediate linkage?

                          • Radiator work

                            oh and KTM racing - buy 5 gallons get 4 1/2.....

                            in my reading today, I noted that the 800 hp FI tech doesn't have timing control.... which may cause me to find another solution for it

                            so glad I installed the 73 rear - if I stacked stuff on it before, it'd have rolled off... awesome

                            time to upsize the inlet and outlet


                            practice welds first

                            and away we go

                            and viola

                            • Pressure test and fix pinholes

                              then chop down



                              next up fan mount and radiator mounts

                              • This is more for my reference - but I'll share so others might get the thrill of fiberglass work.... I use West systems, but the 407/404 filler to build up gaps is new to me. I've been using Vette stuff, but I'm not thrilled with its strength..... this should be better
