Hey Rex, you can use mine for a while if you need.I did a long test run last night with my new radiator hooked up. Amazing how good the test run went once I got rid of all the old gas.


Do you have a plan for your tranny cooling lines? Are you using the OEM quick connect style?

Thanks for the offer Mike but the 10 hr round trip might be a little counter productive.

On the tranny I am leaning toward the AN fittings from Sweet Performance and then using braided lines. That is the plan anyway. But, seeing as I spent this evening completely rewiring my dash so I could move my PCM out of the cab to see if it would reach my core support, my plans change alot.

Come on now, you're killing me. I have been planning all along to mount my PCM inside the cab. What's the deal? Does it muck up your a/c-heater install?
My wiring is no where near complete so I have flexibility. I just thought it would help clean up the engine bay if it's in the cab.

I am leaning toward braided stainless too with AN-6 fittings. Not sure yet. I've also thought about inline tube's stainless "oem" prebent lines. I think they will be a pain to install based on my brake line experience.

How about some wiring pics?

LOL, I know, I keep changing my mind but the PCM is just so tight between the fuse box and brake booster brace. It can fit there if it has too but it is like stuffing a size 12 foot into a number 10 shoe. I am wanting to see just where it could fit on the core support if I built a nice box for it and dressed it up some.

I would be glad to show some pics but like I said now my wiring is torn apart again.lol
and besides... the last time I showed you wiring pics you got your engine started before me!

Didn't like the PCM outside either so I tried something different back inside the cab.

I modified the brake booster bracket so the wires for the PCM would reach father.





Then I bent some metal for a bracket to hold the PCM.



and attached the bracket.



Then mounted the PCM
