Nice Almost a sleeper. Only thing giving you away is the cowl hood, and I imagine the exhaust note.

 

Looks good man.. What radiator are you running?

 

The radiator is a Griffin aluminum PN# GRI-1-25272-X from Summit. It fit pretty good I just had to trim the top holddown piece up a little bit.

 

I know i wish i could have kept the stock hood but i dont think it would have cleared. I still have to get an exhaust system fo it. That stuff hanging in the pic is the stock stuff or what is left of it anyway.

 

I'm hoping to swap a 350 TPI into my RS here in the next month, the donor car has a cowl hood and I'm trying to decide if I want to use it. On one hand I really don't need it and it will be a bit **** on a "stock" car. But on the other it's a free cowl induction hood. I am leaning towards not using it though, I like the idea of a stock looking RS with all IROC-Z driveline and suspension. Either way I'm not keeping up with that 383, nice work!

 

Im starting on the swap road in july. Out with the 3.1 in with the 7.4... I have heard good things about the griffin rads, so i think ill go that way. Im going to relly try to keep the stock hood, but i have my doubts also. if i have to go after market, i want a the L88 look, even if its custom done...
Great looking swap man. your just up 64 a bit, mabey ill see you on the highway!
