Thanks, I have to get Mr. Steadyhand Dan to cut out the hole in the shroud for the electric fan. Surprisingly, although we only had it running a little while, the temp never got so you couldn't keep your hand on the engine. Something I was REALLY happy about is that my coated headers didn't discolor yet. Sanderson warns you not to use them until you get the engine dialed in, or you risk burning the coating, but what are you supposed to do, have an old set laying around to use first? I had no choice but to use them and risk it.
I did toast the ones on my '27 during break in years ago, but I was running two fours, and I think the excess fuel increased the exhaust temp with unburned fuel. At least that seems reasonable. But even burned a little, the coating still held up great, was just a little dull in places.

I did not know Mike very well, we exchanged some messages from time to time but from what I understand he was a very good man. I was sad to learn about this
