Interesting induction system. Does it allow for a forced induction system to be integrated at a later time?

Found an electric fan that will work, I still have to finish fitting it to the radiator. I was surprised that there was so much room behind it. Once it's fitted, there should be a bunch of clearance between it and the water pump.

I also started putting the door and window glass back in the car, looks nice to have these parts back on. I picked up some more parts at the mopar alley show so I can get the passenger side glass back in. -I haven't had roof rails on this thing since 1987 yikes! :woohoo:

 Good price! Have you had the fan running yet? Does it move lots of air!

Took a lot longer than I wanted but the fan is in there, I want to make something to clean up the installation but it will work for now. The fan is stock for SRT8 LX/LC and Vipers so it must move enough air!

Finally drove the thing around the block tonight- it's nowhere near dialed in but it was great to take it around the block a couple of times
