Actually I ran the wires inside the fresh air ducts as to keep the inside of the fender wells neat and tidy.

Beautiful harness delete== I assume wires were run inside the fenders and back out thru the slam panel and to the other side.. Very tidy.

Tim, The rod ends are steel male 5/16 NC X  5/16's ball hole with a simple hardware store coupling.  Nothing fancy.  I just pulled them out of our stock but a racing supply house or Graingers or even a good hardware store would have them.  They were spaced up a bit at the thermostat with AN washers.  I think we also had to get longer studs - again from our bins but then hardware stores or NAPA will have them.

Do the radiator mounts come with one of the housing/steady combinations?
I am not seeing them.

I like the turnbuckle upper radiator mount. Do you have closer pictures of it?

I am using an MPi block in an early body and with the thermostat sandwich plate, the mounting points are higher. This looks like it will resolve that. Nick Upton fabricated a sheet metal version that works fine, but I am about to to the same thing in another car. I would be interested in the diameter of the fittings or any other information.

Nice work looks clean.

Close to done.  All GM wiring hidden.  1380 drives nice, hell it's a rocket ship.
