Another weekend done after long days in the garage...
Got the exhaust all finished up. I had most of it done, screwed together and mounted yesterday but now its all welded together. I Built 3 sets of tailpipes and wasnt happy with any of them, just not enough room to get 3" pipe over the axle, around the shocks, past the hoses and wires, and out the back.
Fine, Axle dumps again...lol
The old radiator setup sucked so I got the new dual pass crossflow mounted,
I recessed it into the core support so I had a little more room this time around between the rad and motor. I went with 1 big SPAL extreme duty 16" fan instead of trying to make those 2 10" ones work.
Of course the shroud put the fan motor right in the water pump to that had to get cut up to move the fan lower and of center to clear..lol
Climbed underneath and drained the axle fluid, put on the new alum cover / girdler support, and filled it back up.
At some point weatherstrip adhesive on the gasket seemed like a great idea..lol 20 min of scraping and finally a wire wheel for that mess.. Ugh..
