Griffin built a custom radiator so I could mount it under the core support. The center part of the core support is removable which will make engine installation easier.

I love Vega's. Have some great memories from my youth hopping in on some black vinyl seats in the summertime on Mom's 1972 GT. Great work and thanks for a solid Vega thread!

The Vega didn't come with an oil pressure gauge. And since I am going to use the factory tach, I added a gauge in place of the clock.

I don't know how many people have ever saw a big Block in one of these cars up close, but I thought you guys may like to see some close up details.
