    Kirk, a word of caution about your air cleaner, the foam in it is highly flammable one backfire through the carb and it will go up in flames (been there and done that)

    The air cleaner in Photo is a temp thing, more or less acting as a carb cap, I have a nice MotorSport Air Cleaner going on it. (y)

    I like your choice of fan. I use the same(shrouded) and stays at 165-175* whooping on it on 95* day.

    O yeah, looks nice too!

    great looking engine. You might want to hook up the shocks before you drive too far.
