I've been slowly gathering steam on this. After talking to the folks at the G&R flesh roast,, I'd thought I'd share some pics and thoughts.
I don't want to do any major cutting on my conversion. My goal is to have 2 usable trunks, and a car that can be easily converted back to a stocker. There have been a few threads where the possibility/impossibility of an engine bay radiator. Here's my take on it. I believe that at 25+ mph there is a low pressure spot behind the back window. I think this will be enough to suck air up through the engine compartment. I would love to hear some constructive criticism. -Robert Attached image(s) |

Here's a long overdue update on the cut-less conversion. I have mounted and wired pretty much 90%. Fuel injectors are mounted and my engine bay fuel lines ran.
My fuel lines are mounted and my fuel tank is POR-15ed and ready to go,,,,, but Dirk Write has a hold of me and I want to fix my fresh air blower "since I'm there". I have sat on this long enough for my foosball addiction (from a previous life) to side track me and derail me getting my car drive able to the great G&R this year,,,, BUMMER!! I some how plan to wire up an "external" fuel source and try to fire up the ole girl. There's water in my coolant hoses,, and a mysterious loss of water to go with it,,,,, but nothing external that I can see,, and it's really slow so It might be thru my engine (because it's been sitting sooo long). I hope to fire her up and heat cycle it a bit and see if the leak goes away. I need to find a machinist who can make a throttle arm for me,, I need a .25" X 2.5" 1/8"thick piece of steal shaped into a throttle arm with a "D" shaped hole on one end,,any suggestions in So. Cal.? I will post some pics soon as they are on my phone,, Attached thumbnail(s) |
