Those of you that are familiar with the Ford Cleveland will
remember the lousy water pipe outlet that covers the thermostat.

I decided I wanted something different so I fashioned a plug from
a Harley exhaust flange, some bent tube, smaller straight tube and some bondo.
BTW, the bolt holes on the HD flange and the thermostat housing are spaced the same.

After the plug was prepped I made a mold and produced a pretty nice part. Not quite finished as
far as coatings and clear go but it will work.

The departure angle was off, leaving the soon to be fitted radiator hose running right over the
oil filler on the dry sump tank.

I found a thick piece of Aluminum and fabricated a spacer where I could set the water outlet
at the angle I needed. I drilled and tapped the piece and now I'm happy. No obstruction.

It needs some finishing and a pass with the mill on each face but it will be fine after that.

For just "throwing some stuff together" you make some really nice stuff!!! Makes us all envious.

Thanks Joe, Neil and Rex.

Wish I was further along but if I've learned one lesson
on liners, it's PATIENCE!!!!.

She's the boss and won't let you forget it.

I've dated a few hotties in my past. Mind Blowing to be honest but this "witch" tops them all.

Some action on the left bank.

Flanges bolted on and first tubes tacked.

I've cut most of the sections to size and
I'll tack the headers together today.

First pipe tacked.

This early to bed, early to rise thing must work.

I never even stayed awake to watch my rugby team play.
I beat that darn rooster even.

No time to play around anymore.

 Mike, Glad you're getting a handle on that sleep thing. It'll help all of those other problems work themselves out, too. Besides, I find that it makes the best engineering time, too.

The problem is remembering when you wake up what seemed so clear when you were dreaming!!!  

Mike, those pipes are going to be awesome. Nice job fitting them.

My medication must be working.

Got most of the set tacked.

Thanks guys, it always helps when I get positive feedback.

More pipe, more angles.
