It.......
As promised, here is a pic of the lovely Street Hemi Orange rear brake drum. I just had "IT" out but didn't think to take a pic outside.
On the radiator note....
I got things buttoned up and fired "IT" for a test run to see if it would stay cool. Immediately there was something wrong. Sounded like the world coming to an end. So I shut "IT" down to have a look.
I had used this killer fan on a car before with no problems. But it didn't have any "billet" bullshit on it like this does. Has a billet power steering pump and MARCH pulleys on "IT". So between the pitch of the fan blades and the snout of the P/S pulley.....lets see.....7 blades.....1000 RPM......that means 7000 WHACKS Per Minute.
So I pulled the killer fan and put the sissyboy fan back on for the moment. Took it out for a test drive. And while it was relatively cool outside and really NO traffic, I DID get caught at one light for some time. Would have been plenty of time for "IT" to have gone over 200 degrees before the radiator swap. Once moving, the temp dropped back to 180.
"IT's" still going to get a shroud, and I think I have a different 7 blade factory fan and spacer I can try. I think it will clear.....
