Installed my temporary radiator from Rock Auto ran the engine till the fan cycled a couple times and went go Karting on Saturday. Everything went well until I ran it up to six grand in first and second and it kicked the belt off. Found the power steering pump too far forward so I shortened the spacers by a quarter inch and retried it, worked perfectly. I guess Blueprint dresses these engines after the dyno runs. And of course when I got back to the shop I realized the bottom of the radiator was only supported by zip ties. Evidently they are good ones. My rear shocks come today and I'll put them on tonight. Getting excited to put the body on and start the body work. Anyone waiting on a radiator, the 81 Mustang works perfectly for a temporary solution till the FFR one comes in and its only $95. I would have gotten that a couple months ago if I'd known how good it would work.
