Re: Project: Mavro Gato (56K ... Get a cup of coffee)

I can do that ... I have a fresh new (bought nearly 2 years ago) SVT radiator that will be going in AFTER the engine, so no problems getting that front header back on.

This weekend I will be pulling the rear subframe in order to box the swaybar mounting tabs and to remove the stock rear sway bar. That will be sent to GMK since I bought his Aussie Bar & End Links for some $$$ + exchance of stock parts. This weekend I also plan on putting together the Koni & Ground Controls & porting the UIM TB inlet to be less restrictive since I will be using a MAC 70mm Mustang TB.

The header wrap that I got was DEI copper (2000 degree) w/ Silver DEI header paint (also 2000 degree) & many SS straps. The plan is put 2 coats of the paint on the headers, then wrap them, the put 2 coats of the paint over the header wrap ... I hope 2 cans of paint is enough.
