Just my Corvette: Siamese bore block + low aluminum rad height with remote expansion tank looks like it will be grumpy. But I really don't want to mess up your thread with my junk Tim . You did a great job working out the fix. Wonderful workmanship too. Love it. W

Besides the steam lines and T stat hole, I vacuumed the system, and had the front end elevated considerably while filling as well. Would love to see the updates on your new project. For as silly as this car is under power, I can only imagine what your Corvette will be like........

The Canadian wild fires are at least good for one thing around here, it helps with the lighting for photography. Here are a few from shots I took this morning
