Re: V-8 Radiator. Help me Please

I finally have an update. I got the problem fixed. As I said before my van always ran at around 225 deg and sometimes a bit higher but never fully overheating. I blamed the radiator because it was a "cheapo" from a no name parts store. I replaced it with the "Heatbuster" from Aut...

Re: V8 Swap/Opinions

I got mine smogged without a problem. As long as you have all the smog equipment that came on the motor you are putting in. The smog refferee is no problem. If you have any problems let me know.
