That's why mine is vertical too, the pulley setup I originally had (Fox body style front dress) would have put the main pulley pretty much inside the radiator. But I switched to the SN95 style, which moves all the pulleys closer to the engine, so I think I'll readdress the radiator mount issue when I get the engine running.

If I can't get what I want for it, I'll probably part it out. Call it silliness, but I really don't care anymore. It's like having to live with your ex-wife.

No, the car isn't finished. I am.
It's time to stop pretending I'll ever care about finishing my car, so I'm putting it up for sale soon on both forums. I'm sure this will make some of you very happy. Line up for a kick to the nuts, if that's the way you roll, and tell me how I "failed" to finish it. While quite true, it would be more accurate to say that, for a large number of reasons, I eventually failed to care about finishing it. There is a difference.
IIRC, the speedo says ~17k miles, but it was sent to Australia for recalibration and reprinted with a top speed of 240 mph, so the chassis still has the same ~13k miles it had on it when I pulled the last running motor out of the car on Sunday, May 17, 1998. Yep, it's been 12 years, 8 months, and 12 days (and counting) since I last drove the car. Now that's a record.
New paint (in 2002), new 19" Volk wheels and Pole Position S-03s, new Racing Brake big brake kit (still in boxes, actually), new Cobra IRS w/all the best parts... the list goes on.
Any guesses on what I'm going to ask for it?
