cool as hell! <~~ which is an interesting oxymoron now that I look at it...
Yep. Having overheating problems @ highway speeds?
They are perfect! $50 shipped!!!!!! The air dam is to get the engine comp a bit cooler.
I have two 10" fans and it runs right at 180 at all times, just thinking to get some of the other heat out of the engine comp. I HEAT WRAPED THE TRI Y'S BUT IT STILL GETS QUITE WARM IN THERE.

180 is pretty normal isn't it?
You built a hot rod there. That's is a lot of engine under the hood.
The air under the hood is really past warm when it runs, cant be good for some of the stuff like the carb or the vac pump etc. An example is I melted the plastic on the wire looms on top of the valve cover, These are like 3"tabs that mount on the vc bolts.

Actually no. According to Dantes Inferno the lowest level of Hell is cold.

LOL - well hot ****.. 
Yep. Have to cc the chambers for the ratio.
No, that's a hodge podge of parts that the kid scrounged up...
It's a 91 360 block with Hughes 1928 roller cam, Rhoades lifters, sealed power 9.0 compression pistons, Edelbrock true roller double roller timing chain. LD340 intake, with 67-68 valve covers with the spark plug wire hold downs on the covers. I like that style of cover because they help keep the #5 & #7 spark plug wires from touching the exhaust and burning up the ends.... #-o
Then we got a set of 68-70 340 exhaust manifolds that need to be adapted to the 2 1/4" dual exhaust with an h-pipe, which we have a man here that can do that when we get it to that point...
Super stock rear leaf springs in the back, new brakes, 8 3/4" 3.91 sure grip freshly rebuild by my trans man who is no longer going to be building anything as he's got incurable MS and surgery hasn't helped him. I'm bummed about that because he's the best trans guy that I have used and he always builds them right where the kick down works properly... I've been going to him for over 25 years... He also built the 727 in there with a shift kit and heavy duty clutches.
Then up front we got new kelsey hayes discs, new 1.00" torsion bars from Just Suspension (PST was out of their 1.03" bars and couldn't tell us when they would get more in)... Al new front end components, bushings, tie rods, sleeves, ball joints. Then a new Hellwig front sway bar...
Then we put in a new dash wiring harness, new dash pad, and new carpet (black to hide dirt etc...)
