I would like to try it, much cheaper for serpentine conversion, and get rid of all the leaky stuff.
I was also wondering if any one has tried the mustang or pinto rack kits you can get from summit for around $300. I know some fabrication would have to be done, but hey it's a winter project. I seen one guy done it with an old grand am unit.
