I also calculated and asked around to use these springs with only .58 or .59 lift... they might work but the risk is not worth it. I would for sure use different springs for more than .58 lift.

Hi,

I'm wondering how the radiator mounts look like in a 66 GTO.
The pre owner of mine build new brackets to mount it from the side (tanks left and right instead of up and down).

glad to know, I was really unsure since I never did that! A friend has a sand blaster.. I was thinking if (with caution) this would give a nice roughness as well, but if my work is fine I‘ll keep it...

Over night I now finished the intake with 80 grit at slow speed.
It may feel rather smooth but it surely doesn't look smooth. Can you tell, if this is fine, too rough, too smooth?

this is how it...

I have a Dremel that can do 5000-30000rpm. I also have small rolls, so maybe I should run it as slow as possible
