    Glad to see your back at it, the cluster looks great.
    Looking at your top radiator hose the inlet on the engine looks higher than the fill of the radiator, you may have some air trap ( running hot ) issues if the fill is not the highest point in the cooling system. I ran into this on another build, the fix was to install another fill/cap inline of the upper radiator hose, Mr. Gasket makes a filler you can cut your top hose and put it inline, then just use it instead of the fill in the radiator.
    I'm still looking for pics of you cutting that hood!

    Keep going, spring is almost here
    Godspeed

    So where you been?, I swapped my 368 for a built 472 and LOVE it.
    We are still waiting to see that scoop through the hood picture!
    Also what water pump pulley did you use?
