The big old copper radiators cool much better than the aluminum radiators anyway. Also curious about the reasoning for the Dakota Digital cluster? They look absolutely cool as heck but I can’t justify the price they’re asking for them. The cluster really doesn’t need to be changed to an expensive aftermarket cluster when doing this kind of swap although a lot of people think it does. I still use the original clusters 3 square bodies that have received late model engines.
Looks like a nice dealership to work in! Looking forward to more  |
Thanks, for the kind words! Going with the Enytropy Radiator for the cooling fans, steam hose fitting and cool factor. Plus my old radiator was getting kind of crusty inside. Going with the Dakota Digital Gauges for the convenient hookup, added tach, and cool factor as well.
I'm a service advisor for a Hyundai dealership and have keys to the shop so I can come and go as I please which helps a lot which is the good news, bad news is I work 12 hour days 4 days a week, and my job is 40 miles away, plus my kids get out of school at 2:30 and I need to be home for them on my off days, so I don't have a lot of free time to work on it. But in the little blocks of time I have found I do feel I've gotten a lot done! Plus I have a great tech who has offered to help with the heavy lifting and any trouble shooting if problems arise.
