Just followed your build and I have to say it was awesome! Love the attention to detail in everything that was done. Kuddos to you. Someone posted that you're selling? If its true, what would something like that run? Again, awesome build!

Thanks for reading the build and appreciate the kind words. I like things done right, but not over done. I like for people to say, I know their is something different, but I can't put my finger on it. Nope, it is not for sell. Too much blood, sweat and beers! I think you made have seen the quote about Blown7's motor that is for sell. thanks again, Nat |

Well it has been awhile since I posted. Last September the Jeep got invited to the Sherwin Williams booth at Barrett Jackson Las Vegas. Took it over to Shelby American to see the snake it ate. (This jeep project was in place of a cobra project).
Numeral Uno Cobra Met Steve Darnell from Vegas Rat Rods, very cool guy. He invited us over to his shop. And he took the Jeep out for a spin. |

With all of the heat last summer, I kept having an overheating issue on the real hot days. It was fine idling or short burst of WOT, but at cruising speed the temp would just creep. Tried changing the fan shrouding, but with no luck. Came to the conclusion that the radiator was just to small. The original radiator is a Novak custom, which is very well made, but not designed for 550hp.
So a friend of a friend with family at Fluidyne made a new custom radiator and oil cooler. The radiator is based on a dirt modified core with 20% more rows and 15, instead of 10, fins per inch. I had to redesign the floating radiator bracket and make some fan support brackets. Nutserts were installed to couple the oil cooler to the radiator and sandwich the support bracket. A two pass oil cooler was used to place the connections near the oil filter sandwich adapter to reduce the line requirements. The sandwich adapter is a thermostatic unit from Earls. I ran the jeep pretty hard this past weekend and the temp never exceeded 184° (180° thermostat). I believe the problem is solved, but only the heat of the summer will tell. |

Yes, very cool place. The guy with me is painter and had done some painting at their old shop when he was in NASCAR. He knew the painter at Shelby American and we got a casual unofficial shop tour. They had some 1000hp stangs on the chassis dyno, very impressive! |
