not toatll buttoned up yet. I still have the header panel, fenders, and front bumper to install. I also need to mount my oil filters, and get the dual battery thing going. I also need to get the exhaust all straightened out and maybe bring it back to YBA and have it re bent in a few places that didn't come out quite right.

Dual oil kit is from Summit, it's the Summit branded one (same as the Permacool). The filters that it runs are either OEM jeep, or a large PH8A type Fram or Purolator 37001 (i opted for Purolator or course) I have yet to mount the filters for real, right now (haven't driven it yet) their just connected with heater hose, and sitting in the engine bay near the fuse box. I will be attaching them to the hood, and hopefully getting then to squeeze inbetween the booster, intake, and 2nd battery. I'll be tackling that today as I picked up my red and yellow tops yesterday.

Looks awsome indeed. I have two questions though. Why did u keep the mech fan? And u spent all that time painting all of the accessories up nice and you didn't paint the pacesetter header w/ some high temp paint? It looks awsome though. I hope when i do my stroker it comes out half as nice.

Thank you both. Mechanical fan kept? Dunno, might as well, it was all new (blade, clutch, pulley), and I have heard mixed things about electrics. I can tell you now (52 miles on her) that the temp stays pinned at 205, so if it works that well, I'm leaving it alone. I can spare the supposed 5HP gain from the electrical swap, since I have added so much HP with everything else, 5HP ain't gonna kill me.
Pacesetter paint. Whelp, The dumasses @ pacesetter actually painted the thing with non hi-temp paint, which is stupid. Anyway, in order to paint it I would have had to grind all the paint off of it and re-paint with Hi-Temp. Frankly, that's a lot of grinding and sanding and a VERY odd shape. So I left it as-is. I may take it off (now that the paint is all gone, (that took all of 4 minutes LOL) and Hi Temp it, who knows. I also have a nice header leak, so my engine sounds very clicky, which is annoying as all hell, so I may need to take it off anyway, and re-torque all the bolts.
I may take some pics today to show everyone how it looks installed.

Did you put this on a Renix head, if so what mods did you have to make?
