On the Left was the temporary setup until I could make sure it works. Now that it is working, I cleaned it up a bit as shown on the right. I fabricate a bracket that I fastened to the old Fiero Computer holder so the computer is still isolated from the chasis. |

| The radiator is fed from the top and there is a baffle in the radiator halfway down to force the water across to the other side of the radiator. I have the return line on the back of the radiator because I wouldn't have room on the front. I have the piping laid in position on top of the existing hose. The pipe near the engine compartment will have to have a Y installed to feed to the right radiator. The close up of the hoses show the braided return. Below that is the muffler pipe going into a hose that is connected to the water pump. | ||

| The Surge Tank has been mounted and connected to the engine. |  |
|
| The radiators are now completed. I have
the body back on and the fans mounted in front. I will add a filler cap
in the hose on the right radiator to facilitate filling. I can fill it
through the surge tank but this will make it easier. |

|
| I have to make some adjustments to the radiators. Once I put the body back on, I found that the position of the outlet on the back was too close to the body. I need to have them rotated 90 degrees to point up. This will allow me to use a 90 degree hose connection and clear the body. I should get this done next weekend. I also determined that I won't have the required clearance to mount the fans in the rear. I will mount them in the front. Of course this means that I now need to remount the fan mounts on the frames. (I sure hope these "adjustments" help someone else and they don't have to make the same mistakes that I did) |

| I added a brace in front of the rear radiators. I will tie in the radiator frame with a strap (yet to be installed) as indicated where the yellow lines are |
