Rotella T6 5w-40

Check out the truck forums, Dakotart.com is a good one. I run around with 3 Dakota guys and all 3 run 408 strokers on the stock ecu (SCT tuned by FlyinRyan).

No cooler lines in the radiator but it would be easy enough to remove the cooler and loop the lines temporarily.

As for the oil cooler idea, there is penty of room to install a remote cooler with a fan if needed to either side of the radiator. You guys are making me rethink the location of my trans cooler though. It blocks a good portion of the radiator right in front of the grill opening.

:)

I've given some serious thought in the past about getting a front bumper with a larger opening. Being a popular drift platform there are plenty to choose from that are designed to accomodate a large intercooler, but wasn't sure it would do the trick. I do like the idea of doing a little...

Lots of ideas, I like it. Running stock pullies on an LA timing cover and water pump. It's a 6 vane if I remember correctly. New, at cooling system upgrade, T-stat (185) If I open the hood it won't overheat idling, and will recover faster. I never checked the lower hose but will as soon...

Sorry for the delayed response, but hopefully this answers a few of your questions. Running a mechanical fan isn't an option. Here is a picture of my radiator/fan setup. There isn't a rubber seal between the shroud. One thing to note is I did have to shorten the shroud by 1/2" to make...

Yes they are coated.

I run block hugger headers, could the heat from them being so close to the block cause the problem? This is driving me nuts. I run around with a few Dakota guys and they don't have any problems at all with that thin little factory core. Heck one of them runs 180 degrees no problem with no...

Not an Abody, obviously, but maybe some of you guys can help me with persistant cooling problems ever since I put my car on the road. Not trying to write a novel here but I'm out of ideas. My first setup was a 22x19 (core alone is larger than old radiator) 2 core aluminum radiator with your...

I know what you meant, but this is what I envisioned when I read the title.

I've been seriously looking those. My question is (in my best Roy D Mercer voice) how big a boy are ya? I'm 6'-2", 250, and have been wondering if I would actually fit the seat. I've got to do something before next season, my back hurts after a day of racing. Probably because I have to lean...

I went through this with mine, sludge-o-rama. Even clogged up my first radiator. Try the Prestone radiator flush, it works ok. I personally used 2 bottles (water only no antifreeze), drove the car around for an hour, then let it sit overnight before hooking the hose up to it and letting it...

Use the manifolds. Less headache and you can make way more power with them than your motor could ever handle. Headers hardly make a difference in turbo builds.

"No, but I'm saving up to buy one."

I use a Ravelco device in my work vans since I'm on the road quite a bit. It's hard to explain, but it's essentially a second key that controls 2 devices such as the ingition box, fuel pump, or starter. There are no two alike so there are no master pinouts for a thief to get hold of either...

Cool :glasses7:

Lol, it's horrible for me too. It's like I have a sign on the back of my car that says "race me" in big bright neon letters. Believe it or not, corvette guys are the worst by far.

I also agree with a Whiplash cam. Great sound with good driveability. If you're doing shows then this would be a good choice.

So, uhh, how difficult was that?

Sorry, should have been more clear, it's got an Edelbrock carb on it.

RX7 Ford V8 - YouTube Say the balancer had spun and you didn't know it or something like that. Could accidentally having waay too much timing once the mechanical advance kicks in cause the noise in the vid? It's not a mopar but I'm trying to help a kid with his first project (sbf powered...

Just rock the GTX if that's what you've run forever. No problem with that. Heck, that motor probably ran on conventional oil for the 100k miles before you, it's not going to be a problem now. One thing I noticed with mine though, with 10w-30 the hot idle oil pressure was a little low so I...

(where's the duck and cover smiley??) All kidding aside, what about a turbo small block? Couldn't be an easier install since it's all bolt-in, a turbo could turn a very basic 318 into a monster, and if you use aftermarket efi you could easily tune it for both power and economy. Btw this is...

Lol, all this started about 7 years ago with an '85 Ramcharger I picked up for $100. I just wanted a simple project I could tinker with and learn.

Bad pic, but I get tons of compliments on the paint on the motor. I used VHT engine paint, 5 heavy coats, and a coat of clear. If you've ever used the official mopar hemi orange you know it covers well and is thick. The VHT really came close to the "thickness", but shines better imo. It's...

Sounds like a cool project. I like it.
