Well anyway it did funeral stuff without missing a beat:
Been driving it and I think everything is going to stay together. Header collector leak persists but it is the side I am going to redo so it can just have a good time while it can.
So one thing I want to do is get the front efans to kick on when I turn the A/C on AND when the engine temp demands it. So it is either blow $300 on a efan controller or devise a series of relays to control the grounds of the efan relays (I have each fan on its own relay)
I snagged a relay block for all my other relays awhile ago, it didn't really fit how I wanted. But for this I think it will work great. I found a nice out of the way spot for it behind the driver side headlight, so I pulled the DS intake tube and overflow/washer bottle out and started prepping to get it laid in there there for real tonight.
