got the radiator..was a great 20 dollar investment..tranny cooler line is a little smashed and would like to get it a bit more rounded back out but it will do, now all i need is a freeze plug and radiator hoses and other normal necessities and it should be running.

ok so i got my freeze plug so that is one more part down on the list, what we got left is finish torqueing the head, install the rest of the lifters and rods, clean paint and install the valve cover, install exhust and intake manifold, buy radiator hoses and the rest of the conversion stuff, and fluids, lastly drop the tank and check my pump...wow i have a long way to go..lol
