the e-fan was a breeze! thanks bigpappaholt!!!
i need to re-route the wiring and get some conduit for all the wires but it works great! its the markv11 or whatever fan, on the low setting and cools like a champ!

yes definatly, the efan w/o the shroud definatly cleans up the engine bay and i gained tons of room to work on stuff!

here is a super lame paint graphic i made to explain the intake!

does this make sense?

its just steel braided sleeving that slips over your existing hoses to dress them up a bit... jegs, summit, autozone all sell the kits...





as for the first attempt on the intake, your guess is as good as mine idk what, or how that came to be, but it didnt work good or fit good and pretty much sucked! lol
