Last night I was able to crank the motor over. I can’t fire it up until I get the transmission lines hooked up to the cooler, so I didn’t send power the fuel pump for fear of covering my floor with tranny fluid. I ran over to Summit today and picked up a Spectre cold air kit, Lokar remote transmission dipstick, an EVAP blockboff plate, and some fittings and hose to hook up transmission cooler lines.

So this 3 row radiator is in great shape, it is for a 350 with a TH350 transmission which is what my truck had before I took it off the road. I’m hoping to be able to use it with the new L86. I don’t remember what that thing I circled is for... anyone care to enlighten me?
