Pressure test and fix pinholes

next up fan mount and radiator mounts

[SuperBuickGuy]

Radiator work

oh and KTM racing - buy 5 gallons get 4 1/2.....

in my reading today, I noted that the 800 hp FI tech doesn't have timing control.... which may cause me to find another solution for it

so glad I installed the 73 rear - if I stacked stuff on it before, it'd have rolled off... awesome

time to upsize the inlet and outlet


practice welds first

and away we go

and viola

I know it would be complicating things, but would you need a intermediate linkage?

[SuperBuickGuy]

for those who think it is impossible to take 4 days to install a throttle cable, I say AH HA



only problem is the pedal doesn't travel far enough to get WOT.... sigh, day 5 coming soon

[SuperBuickGuy]

after a fun weekend,













it's time to get to work

[SuperBuickGuy]

it's here, will it fit?

Like a glove


with the fan

and worked on the throttle cable

some disassembly


headed to the Reno Air Races - so no updates for a bit...

[SuperBuickGuy]

So I bought a radiator... from Entropy Corporation. I hope it gets here....

[SuperBuickGuy]

I made an executive decision.... not using this one


mostly because if you look in the hole, you'll see the cooler tube takes 2/3rds of the tank.... so I got to looking for options and it appears a C5/C6 Z06 (7.0 liter) radiator is just what the doctor ordered.... so I ordered it anyway and didn't tell them I wasn't a doctor.....

I'm looking forward to how that empty box performs

[SuperBuickGuy]

empty box is good

yeah not so much.... the list was right, just didn't have enough sub-parts

the biggest one....

[silver_bullet]

That's quite an issue.... I'm sure you can resolve it!

[Deaf Bob]

So? No burnouts today

[SuperBuickGuy]

didn't get a lot done on this today - but got started with a cooling mod



see the problem?


I need to close this gap up a bit, but ultimately I'll simply move the intake up and put a shade on the top so it draws first from the bottom...

it does look good

You are building a heavily armed Corvette. ...this battleship sailor likes!

[SuperBuickGuy]

shuffled cars, figured I'd snap a shot of it outside


my goal this weekend is do burnouts with it.... lots on the list, but it's doable....
