I like dem smokey tars 

Opted for the 6 instead of the 9. The extra cost and headache of install just didn't bring any benefit.
But don't worry. It's staying on hand for another project for sure.
I thought you bought some monster 13mm pump to use? Or was that just the original plan?

Is that black billet block on the back of the engine block for coolant?
And does it have a thermostat?
