Well, finished the install today.  I will tell you, running 3/4" hose from the bed of a truck to the engine bay is not fun, at all.

Had to move the tank back a bit in the bed, a cross member under the bed interfered with hose routing.  EJ's bracket fit perfectly.  The only crappy part of it was priming the pump.  Sitting in the bed, trying to syphon antifreeze... it tastes terrible, just saying.
Here is the tank now, i will wrap those lines better later.  I just wanted to make sure it all worked first.


What the underhood looks like without the reservoir there.


And I relocated the PS res to the fan shroud.



the pump


and a quick video of it running

When are you taking me for a ride in that beast, it flat moves out!
I want a car so violent that the mere thought of full throttle would cause a heart attack. That actually going wide open throttle in would result in nothing less than instant death!

I don't have the skill to handle a truck with 500 plus rwtq if not 600!

Couple of shots
Tried my hand at night photos.  Nothing special, just out in front of my house.
