Anyone running a 3/4 poured block on drag week? I may need to do this, Is an oil cooler enough.

Thinking of maybe a dedicated pump and oil cooler. Thoughts

Yes I am running a 5/8 filled block on all of my motors. The oil cooler I run on both cars is a Perma-Cool #301 Oil temp runs the same temperature as the water temperature. I have never had overheating problems.

Thanks, so no fan on cooler either?

No sir, all I run is a 17" belt driven flex fan and mounted the oil cooler in front of the rediator. I do have a nice aluminum radiator. motor runs 177 deg's on most days. Stop light driving on a HOT day it will creep up to 185 to 190.

Cool thanks, gives me some confidence

Made my license passes today. Went 9.82,9.87 1.39 60 foot. This time I won't throw the slips away. Lol. Was able to leave on the full 150 shot once I tightened up the rear extension a little.

But the "LOL" smiling Buick is still waiting on paint :*( Fired it up today though, and boy does it start nice and sound nice

I don't have a filled block at all, just aftermarket, but it runs almost identical water and oil temps with an Earl's cooler similar to Mike's. I have the cooler off to the side of the grill so air passes through and back into fender well. No cooler fan.

That's moving' on out congrats on the license. Now for the double layer suit. Should be cozy in Dallas and LA.

Bought a second set of DragLites off Ebay to mount my street tires on.

I'm practically quivering with anticipation to pick up plan W. This involves taking a perfectly functional car apart, dismember a recoverable car for PW donor parts, and then complain about neither of them running!

It's getting hot down here. Step 1 is going to be AC for the garage. I'm not sure Monica will let me just leave the door open to the house. She's not a "scent of a rear end lube change" kind of girl, dangit.

Is there enough time to turbo the six cylinder first ? I'm dying to know if I can get it from 20's to 15's before it blows chunks. I have a set of 4.10's for a 7.5 and a C4 shiftkit somewhere.
