[BFix] Re: Crossover Conclusion-NASCAR Aluminum Radiator Size

Have you remote mounted the throttle control box? Those don't like being buried down in the V of the engine where they over heat and cost you $300 for a replacement. There is enough wire in the loom to move them up into the airflow next to the intake plenum on a custom fab'd bracket.

The have a reputation for running hot, so I figured what the heck. It makes HEAT a lot faster and got rid of the quick disconnect heater line crap GM came up with. Added a high output water pump and two 3000 cfm electric fans, one comes on at 180, the other around 195, or when the AC is on. You can watch the coolant temp drop when the fan kicks on. Been fun spending the tax return on my first diesel. I upgraded to marine injectors, added 4” mandrel bent exhaust, 2.25 mandrel bent crossover, built my own adjustable wastegate controller (need a heavier spring though, the Grock 19 recoil spring only lets the turbo spool to about 6.5 psi). I tapped the intake for the two stage water/methanol injection system I plan to build soon. It feels like I have picked up about 75 hp so
 far, and the turbo is spooling from idle. Now that I have it back up and running, I am back on the ‘66/’75 project.
