reversed intake and top radiator hose manifold
you have to cut the end off the water manifold to
reverse it as it hits the block where the
starter motor used to live

when you reverse the intake you have to move the alt.
i just used the standard bracket and hang the alt. of the
other side (reversed it as well)
than made a simple adjusting bracket

answer to questions so far
Original radiator with original twin ECU controlled fans on the back sucking air through the radiator blowing air over gbox.
No front skid plate.
Stock fuel tank with extra fittings welded in - 1/2 inch outlet; 1/2 inch breather; 10mm return.
Cut the oil pan and welded a tank on the back of it (towards the front of motor, back of buggy) so it has the same capacity.
The lift kit is just a bit of 40mm box with bent up 1.6mm over the tunnel. To bend it around the corners I just sliced through 3 sides with the cut
off saw (every inch for about 12 inches) - bent it to shape and welded it up. I also welded in threads to bolt the body to.
This is the second 40mm box as I originally just boxed in the sides but then decided on the lift kit. The two 40mm boxes are welded on top of each
other.

Missed these questions
Ran the 1/2 cut at home before I pulled the motor. Sounded great with the same length exhaust that I have, but I have now gone from 2 1/4inch to 2
1/2inch.
Will take pics of shock towers for seagull.

mmm thanks for the pics.. Looks cool and means I had better get back to teh shed so I can keep up with you ...
I have some concerns about your radiator though and think you will have issues with it staying cool. What happens when you have a roof on ?
I also think you are going to have cavitation issues with your fans blowing into the upforce of air from the road / pan. You will notice that you are
100% opposite to the way we went with Wes's radiator. It runs cool and doesn't use the thermos that much which supports the idea that there is a lot
of air pushing up from the road. Just a thought..
Also keen to see your sump and we are about to cut up some EJ ones in pursuit if 75mm to get it back to where we want it.
So when do you think it will be on the road and what transmission are you using ?
Maybe we will have to come for a drive and steel some ideas :>

I like the mags, they're nice.
Good work.
As Brad said, the radiator ain't gunna work with a roof on. I guess you aren't planning on running one.
Behind the front seats will be a low pressure at most speeds, and will work against the thermos. It may run a little hot on the highway. I guess only
time will tell.
If it does run hot, I would try cutting holes through the side of the body, and adding air scoops in front of the rear wheels. These could feed air to
the radiator and might work well.
The other disadvantage is that blowing hot air over the box will make the gearbox and CV's run hotter. Whether it causes any problems or not is
another matter.
Looks like your near the testing stage anyway, good luck with everything :thumb
Brad - cavitation only occurs in liquids, but that's another story.
