Purchased this for my project over a year ago but ended up not using it. Brand new in box $220 shipped to lower 48 from 92506.

Yes, they come with a oil pressure sender and temp sender. The fuel gauge can be programmed to your existing sender and the volt gauge just needs power. The tach goes to negative of coil and the speedo uses its own GPS signal so nothing goes to the trans. I don't have any pics of the wiring to...

Minor updates today..... cleaned up and painted the cluster bezel with a basic metallic paint I found at the auto parts store today, then reassembled the cluster with the new gauges in place. I plan to use the original cluster connector only for the turn signal indicator and high beam...

Thanks! Yea, the fan shroud is JUST large enough to reach the four small holes on the radiator rear ears so my hardware won't be passing through the radiator fins, just the ears and the shroud. Kinda hard to explain, but I'll post more pics once mounted. I agree, not a fan of mounting through...

I'm not using their isolators so I couldn't tell ya

For what it's worth, I have spoken with Barry many times over the last year. He and his partner have been great with customer service and the brackets I received worked perfectly for my 5.9 install in my 65 Valiant using original-style 273 isolators. I purchased them over a year ago. They were...

Two brand new valve covers for LA engine, only taken out for pictures. I ended up using magnum heads on my build so don't need these. $75 plus shipping from 92506. Local pickup okay.

I think it should be good now

I did not deal with Edelbrock, personally. The machine shop handled all of that.

Long overdue update: There were some changes along the way with the plan for the engine. In the end, I decided to go with RPM heads and intake. The first set of heads that made their way to the machine shop were not machined correctly, and were basically scrapped something was machined too...
