Car was in at Otto's last few days. He did all the 'Porsche' stuff and called in Rod Simpson to take a look at conversion. Rod said it was fine, but should have an updated radiator to run cooler. Since the current one does leak a bit, I may go ahead and have him change out.
He also said that cooling setup is wrong, since fill tank and expansion tank should be near the radiator, not the engine. Seems to me that as long as both are high in the system, it doesn't really matter. Once pressurized, even the height shouldn't matter. Opinions? How is your's set up? |

As always, invaluable info.
Craig, what radiator are you using? And where are my shox? send them pony express? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Did you find that driver side front grille? Gimme, gimme, gimmie! Brad, Will install oil temp gauge and let you know. It does seem funny not to have one. And a 'mild' 400hp crate motor in a 2300# car? I scare the shit out of myself with the 95hp 2.0 at the track. Youse guys have ballz! Taking the 8 to Willow April 17/18 for the Shelby club open track event. Will bring extra shorts and try the doppelganger... Beat 'em with a Chev and a Porsche! Chris, I only live 2 miles from you, too. |
