Glad to see your car is back on the road. Posted Image
Carson was wearing pants just to ride that. On a previous occasion he wrecked on it and got a nasty burn on his leg from the exhaust.

He didn't want to try out the 3' jump at full speed. :)

Looks like fun! But you should have replaced the oil cooler lines while you had it apart!!!!

Blew the radiator today, so I guess I am not finished after all.

Should have replaced it during the engine swap, but I didn't have it at Mitch's at the time. Luckily I made it home without too much trouble and I have the radiator.

Yes, it's got an additional cooler as well. Probably prolonging it's life, the trans has over 200k on it IIRC.

I have something called work that keeps me from doing that. Anyway, I have the car at home and a radiator at home, so I will just change it there tonight and have it back on the road.

Trans filter and second cooler. Very helpful on the track.

Don't forget to post pics from inside of the broken engine. :rolleyes:
If you have any plan to remove the cylinderhead in near future, that is.

Might be next week. It all depends on when the yellow arrives and when time can be arranged to work on that. I won't be around for the next few weekends though.
