    Cheap headers vs sc400

    G'Day mate. :) Standard practice to do that. I did not want to have to lift the motor a mile in the sky so after reading about it I cut the lug that the damper bolts through on the drag link off then cleaned it up a little. I am going to make a small bracket that clamps back in...

    Thermo switch/ cooling/ E-fans

    I have used the same unit. :) :) :) All I have done is use an old coolant temperature sensor. Broke all of the plastic and guts out of it then drilled and tapped the crossover manifold right behind the thermostat. There is a nice flat spot there for it. :)
