Thanks! I ran low 11s on the motor like 10 years ago.When I sprayed it(180hp single stage)I shattered the 7.5 ring&pinion.All good stuff too,but still a 7.5.Had to use a floor jack to get it off Ubly dragway.Ive dumped close to 10,000$ into it since last febuary,and got alot of bugs to work out yet.Havnt even made a full motor pass yet with new stuff.I did too much at once.Now Im having a valve spring issue.I dont have the old cam card,so I dont know the exact specs to order new springs.I dont want to pull it.Lazy

2nd fan isn't turning on, oil pressure gauge isn't working, pcv system doesn't seem to be working right, noise coming from the torque converter area, heater core busted over the summer, heating control unit isn't really working right.. only works on 1st and 3rd setting. just stuff i'll have to deal with next spring, nowhere to work on it this winter.

why do heater cores seem to blow over the summer? lol. mine did the same thing!

[1bad83z]

i don't know either. it happened to me on my way back to work while i was at lunch. thought i smelled something sweet, looked down and there was a large puddle of coolant on the floor. my boss told me to fix my car before starting work again. so i just bypassed the heater core and have been driving like that ever since. who needs heat anyways right?

[Mkos1980]

We ended up not putting heat in erins car period. I took away my heat, but back in Oct and Nov it was getting cold so I tossed my hoses back in. mmmmmmmmmm Nice and warm again lol. :usa2:

[TPI383]
