-I have some paint that i use to mark the bolts. Its a great idea and thanks for the reminder.
-Quench-still planning the engine build, but i will make sure i have it.
-Starter wiring-no worries. I am using a ron francis harness and it is wired for a normal starter.
-Footbox cooling-mine has the hole, but does not have a vent. Any suggestions on where to order the components at a reasonable price
-I thought a hydraulic clutch eliminated cables.
-I will probably attempt to tackle heat management from inside the cockpit. I know it will not be as effective, but i am not sure what will look good on the exterior of the footbox in the engine compartment. Got any pictures?

Question-is an oil cooler really necessary on an FE motor with aluminum heads? It does get hot as hell here in the summer time and the humidity is ridiculous.

Thanks

i got an oil cooler for my fe, i had to use cardboard to block it off to get it up to temp. it makes it look right in the front, but it might be overkill if not on the track. imho...

There's a product called Torque Seal for marking hardware if interested. It can be had in a multitude of colors.

Start with a big bag of money.

Half way through the build, get a bigger bag of money!
