Are you running electric fans?

Dude, this sucks. Dad and I are still running our old Champion radiators without issue. I even had mine modified at a shop to move the inlet to other side for a big block when I swapped. A lot can happen with QC in a decade though. Did you use distilled water or tap water?

I didn't say it's a roller, only roller capable. Chrysler introduced 318 blocks with roller provisions in 1985. Would seem a bit silly to cast two different blocks after three years of production when the roller block is capable of running a flat tappet.

The block should be roller capable. You'll know if there are threaded pedestals down the center of the lifter galley. This is what holds the tappet retaining plate in place. The real bad epidemic of flat tappet cam failures has a lot to do with the shit machining on the crown of the lifters...

I like how you did your fender supports. I redid mine and decided to tie them together across the motor.

You need to talk an attorney. There are firms that specialize in this area of law and with it being that clients in this business are typically hard up for cash I would bet firms work on contingency (only get paid if you win). The bluer the state the better labor protection laws, typically...

See if they are willing to put the vehicle in storage over winter. Some carriers allow for this. It drops collision coverage and only keeps fire/theft. NM, I see you already did that for a year.

There has to be a restriction somewhere. How big is the filtering element? Secondaries opening?

LOL, I can't believe I'm taking the argument of progress here. Board software, like anything else, will only get security updates for so long before the version is deprecated and you're forced to move to the next supported major version number. With this comes new features. I know you used to...

He likes Thermoquads and Netscape Navigator. Lol

Good Lord, what browser are you using that can't render SVG graphics? If it's that old you need to be wearing condom when browsing the web. I'm sure the place holders are still there. If you hover the cursor over where they should be the alt-tag should still pop up.

Factory style 5/16" in/out is all you need.

Summer was really short this year. Chat up Grundy for a quote. My insurance hasn't increased in five years. I had Hagerty at first and by the third year cane along they wanted a 40% increase. Screw them.

Heat is a concern, but what about ground clearance? I'd be a little worried.

I got my five leaf packs from John R Spring many moons ago. Be sure to match the front spring bushings to your caltracs. I ordered the wrong solid bushings when I ordered mine and had to buy them again.
