there are other areas available, depending on one's mods. IMHO this and a lower thermostat some be done 1st!!
the position of our radiator etc does allow full advantage on a radiator upgrade. it sure helps but you will still need the 2nd one. take my word(and others) for this.:) olddragger |

no issues i am aware of--i never knew that he didnt upgrade his water pump. one is on order.
his is running a little hotter on the road than he would like. he also has the rb cAI on. I know that causes a swirl affect for the top 1/3 of the radiator. we can never have one run too cool:) on a low 90's day in Ga on the road mine is in the 170's--it is never(so far) over 195! That is with hard driving. Normal in town temps with a/c is about 180-185.So far so good. OD |

September 8 is when the car will start to be disassembled. I am ordering the engine parts now. The car will easily be done in time and delivered back to Vegas in time for SSXI. I have but one car I am working on right now and Phil's is it. The car will have a comprehensive rebuild done, new gauges installed, all new fluids, and any other problems that are discovered along the way will also be addressed. I plan on putting in 16-18 hour days once I get started and Erick and Jeff will help me as much as they can.
Phil is also seeing to it that he brings out the same militant attitude in me that helped me to make it to AZ in 30 days once I got off my ass with regard to the move. The car stuff will be a cinch by comparison. |
I'ts been awfull quiet......Is the project going to start today?
|
I talked to Ray yesterday and he's in his new house! :rock: I would imagine that means the rebuild will start shortly.
We'll have definitive proof when Ray does NOT post here all day. (meaning he's hard at work on the car) |
It's started (I think). I was informed that pulling the engine of an AT is a bear so I figure it's started. I guess just having moved into the new house that his internet is not working yet so I would imagine that news will be limited.

If extra cooling (upgraded waterpump and rad, spraying water on rad) doesn't reduce temperatures, it sounds like the thermostat. Have you tried removing it completely?

Subscribed.

I'm not sure what to think. Jeff and Erick were going to video the whole rebuild and put it out on the net. Ray was being professional and saying that he might be too busy to post much. I'm trying to figure if no news is good news or my 8 self destructed. I was expecting at a minimum a f/u from Ray once in a while.
|
I don't think Ray has internet at the new place. Have you tried calling him?
|
Not yet, but if I don't hear anything by 3 I guess I will call. I'm not really worried just looking for updates and the usual insults.:)

CRH --- Where are you?

Ray's computer took a dump so he is not posting. All I know is that the engine got pulled. I am expecting the car back completed on Monday. If it's not back then I may not make SS...

Well that just sucks for Phil, but on the positive side of things, looks like it worked out for the better.
