Well I decided to not put the brake booster back because I have a 248 dur./560 lift. cam, no vaccum at all anyways so why have it, you just have to press a little harder on the brakes instead.

Not sure I agree on the brakes, these cars suck at stopping to begin with, but it looks really good.

WOW, thats the only thing that can describe that engine bay. I love that color and it all looks so clean and well done so far. I am a little doubtful about the manual brakes, driven many cars with them before and they were a pain to stop. I know our cars can be pretty heavy plus you factor in all the power youll have to reign in when your at speed, I would have put a booster of some kind on it just to be safe. I do love that color though and the rest of the car looks amazing.

Looks awesome but you shouldnt have had the Intake ceramic coated. Ceramic is meant to Hold heat in. I know your gona say It prob not gona make that big a diff but it will make a diff. You want to coat Intake parts with a diff product.

I coat the underside of intakes with a oil sheding coating to disipate heat quicker. Inside of valve covers and oil pan with it. I ceramic coated a TPI one and It help heat in. but Cooled off quicker after shut down.

anyways.. Deff Looks great!!!

That is a great looking engine bay!. I had contemplated painting the strut towers also, but couldn't decide if it looked good or not. You have helped me make the decision, it looks great! With all the extra space you have under the hood, I would have to agree with the others, but the bullet and get a vacuume canister and brake booster, you'll be glad you did. I would say at a minimum get a master cylinder designed for manual brakes.

The radiator is the Griffen 2 core Rad which I polised myself and is equivalent to a regular 4 core rad and the support is 26" long which you can probably find at your local speed shop.

Sweet so the radiator is made for the f-body and the shroud is universal? Fans look nice also where you get those if you dont mind.

Take a look here for the rad. ---> http://griffinrad.com/blank_chart3.php
The fan is an Flex-A-Lite here---> http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/html...ific-fans.html
For the shroud just ask for a stock replacement in chrome...not sure who makes them but the speed shop should know.
Good Luck!

He's got more cam than I do and my Erson vaccum can only helped a little- my brakes were still very scary. I have a SSB electric vaccum pump on order from Summit right now.
