That rear looks wicked tuf. I have never run one of those cars but from what I have seen of them they are pretty tuf, and hold up really well. How much work are they to put together.

thanks theres some work to these but the pay off is worth it we can weld the top frame seems so thats why i pull the body off i have a alot of time in this one i guess it's how much you want to put in them i see people putting 8 3/4 and 9 inch rears in them i haven't got into that yet cuz i never had a rear crap out on me.I like these cars cuz they have build in hump plates from factory ;DIMO the rears of these cars fold quick the fronts is where it's at strong noses they have lol :)I like 318s so it's a little work with a front dip oil pan putting it in but if it's a rear dip oil pan like the motor i put in the 92 you don't have to cut the fire wall out.

that is just a heater core moved to behind the fan i run a loop system so it just holds a little more water.Along time ago a lady use to run and she told me she use to run with out by passing the heater core so i thought i would try it lol

So no radiator, you just loop the hoses together? and integrate the heater core in there. Doesn't it heat up quiker with no rad?

interested to see how that works we have to run radiators cause our heats can take up to 30 min but another place i want to run they only run 8 cars or so at a time so no need for rads but let us know how it works
