Murphy's Law gets a 410

I needed to make some brackets for the new radiator. I drew some up and my dad cut them out of some aluminum at work. I then had to figure out the mounting of the stock fan, and luckily there was enough material on the brackets to just use them to mount the fan also. This radiator is about twice as thick as the OEM one, so I was worried about what to do with the factory overflow bottle. But after I had the fan and radiator mounted I tried the overflow bottle with the factory bracket, and it fit!!!!! That definately made my day lol, since I HATE making things like brackets for the car.

Brian (302N20) found another engine assembler and I happen to know him really well. 
The crank was dropped off tonight and the rods are getting pin fit tomorrow. The block is washed, cam thrust plate is countersunk for a roller cam gear, and besides pushrods all the parts are there and ready to put together. I'm sure some pics will be up soon!!!

It's a Griffin. I bought it used off a guy who had it on a Turbo SN-95. I wasn't looking for a new radiator as my OEM replacement was only a year old (blew a headgasket last spring and took out the radiator too) and people do fine with them infront of a 408/410, but I noticed it for sale locally and it was too good of a deal to pass up.
thanks for the kinda words everyone.
P.S., I'll be sure to test the posi unit from shane once it's running, I'm sure Doug wouldn't let me get away without doing it lol!
One of the few things I can thing of to do without having the motor is mounting my MSD. I might try to find a home for that tonight, I have a few ideas but i need to check the fitment of it.
I want it protected out of the elements, so no engine bay, but I want it accessible to change the settings on it, so under the passenger seat won't work. But I want is to look clean and not just slapped on the center consol or something. I'm going to see if there is room in the glove box to hid it, or possibly just under the dash on the driver side, I saw a friend put his there on his Fox and it looked nice.

Painted my Radiator Overflow bracket to match my engine bay
I also changed the front accessoy brackets to black, hopefully they will blend in to the engine bay better now.
Picked up my new dizzy, with a backup(my car is Murphy's law!)
Here is my chip, just got ym base tune loaded on it last night, same one I have run for years, just snapped a pic since most people never see it in my computer
