I remote mounted the thermostat housing on the frame rail. Cut the metel flange on the other side about 4 inches away from the flange and found the right size hoses from my scrap bin and plumbed it all up. Im going to make a series of videos going into detail of the swap in the fall when the new engine goes in so stay tuned and hopefully they will help u out. Thx for watching!
Yea it is but I think my finances r in a better place so should b getting the new engine in acouple of months which gives me some motivation to get a head start on building the new turbo kit !
Yea its going to b too much work to try to mix match cuz I would still need machining on the head and at the end of the day i can get another vet for about 3k rn so I think it'll b the better route in the long run. Then save this block for the eventual sleeved fully built block I want
I'm going to switch to detchwerks in the tank and surge tank ... one of the claims of the 400lph they sell is it doesn't burn up like their competitors so we will try that nothing is overheated in the wiri g so I have no reason to believe it was one my end but I haven't emptied the surge tank yet ... could have a broking wire who knows
Brother how did you plumb and mount the thermostat housing? Need to sort mine out in the near future

@@tougeindustry you aren’t going to use the extra block you have in the garage? Or would
It be too much extra work?

@@tougeindustry I see. Good plan! What are you going to do about the fuel pump? Just do a replacement?
Will you be able to figure out why it failed?
