BBR's 83GT - 552 BBF version 3.0 (at least)

I did however, fire it up at the house and let it run for a bit.

Man that thing sounds goooooooood.

Bummer.

[BBR]

Didn't go. I wanted to go, but felt I had stuff at home I really needed to do. Just couldn't justify going all the way over there and blowing a whole Saturday. Plus none of my friends were going so i would have been all by myself.

Buick v. Ford was cancelled last Fall because of weather. They decided to reschedule it for next weekend. Weather looks good so I may drag this thing out and zip over to OKC and see what it will do in good air.

I've been playing with an AI music generator. Crazy crazy stuff. Haha.

It is an ebay no-name radiator. Just search Ford/Mopar dual pass radiator. There's a gazillion of them. It is a 19x31 and the hose is from a 2011-2018(?) Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 5.7L Hemi.

Thanks! Stanger is up for sale but I don't want the buyers to have problems with him.

Eagerly awaiting the road trip results!

Did you get the dual pass from Speedway? If so, what size? Also, what year and model of Jeep for the hose? If this works out for you I intend to replicate your setup.

Finished it up today. Filled it with water and set timing to 29 degrees. Fired it up and let it run. Made a quick lap around the parking lot and it is snappy!

Water temp idling for quite a while and the lap was right at 160 degrees. It will need a longer drive to see if it has improved though.

SBF is pretty much the same size. The beauty of the stl is you can scale it up or down if you don't like the fit.

Waiting of the feedback on the dual pass radiator. I 'spose you'll have to finish reassembly before you can test it out. Like your nifty distributor plug and I'm thinking there's a market. Same size for a small block?

[BBR]

I had a great idea yesterday. Instead of jamming a paper towel in the distributor hole when it is out, I made a plug.

STL available here:

Part 1&2 of fixing the leaky china wall!

Also, I found that one of the plug wires got totally bar-b-qued on a header.

Dual pass radiator? Check!

I'm waiting to see how that goes. I'm in a similar situation with Stanger - OK but warmer that he ought to be.
