Today I noticed a slight coolant smell from under the hood. I pop'd the hood and look what I found......about a 6" crack in the top of the radiator. So went out and picked up a triple row full radiator and swapped it out. Nothing crazy just thought Id post it. The radiator fit-meant was EXCELLENT A+
A big thanks goes out too PowerHouse in victorville CA (Thanks Javier)
I used a mix of 60% water and 40% coolent + 18 cap fulls of the water wetter. Also installed my 12+ slimline fans. It might work too well as it never got hot enough to even turn the fans on.

Just some random shots...Enjoy

I had the same "problem" when I installed my triple core rad, [not reaching proper running temp.] I switched out my thermostat to a "hotter" one, problem solved. 94

Hey FCM, happen to remember what temp it was? I'm going to install my turbo motor in a month or so....should I just leave it as is, since ill generate more heat going FI.

i would, wait till the turbo is in and you tune before you address anything. if you don't mind use your camera skills on the install. i'd like to get at least a few cars {including mine} indexed on turboinstall before the end of the summer.

by the way, can i use those pics of yours for a drive axle article? you did a really good job with the layout

I agree, wait until you do the turbo swap and tune, then if you need to switch the thermostat, do so.

Sorry it was 5 years ago I swapped out the thermos, I can't remember what temp it was, I just asked for the next one up. 94
