My new motor is cutting out, what's wrong!?
So I got my rebuilt motor started for the first time today. It idles great and sounds to be running smoothly. So far I've let it run for three hours straight, I went to run it easy around the block. In second and third gear it seems to be cutting out, almost as if the fuel was being cut off for a split second. What could be the problem? Also when it had the old motor in it was overheating. I found it was a bad coolant seal. Now with the new motor, during idle the temp is in the high end of the normal range, but when I go to drive it it starts to overheat right away. What's the deal here. I'm gonna take the radiator in on Monday and have it cleaned and checked out. The radiator is stock and it might be going bad. Any ideas would be awsome. Thanks. -Steve

Right on, man, I tell you, it wouldn't start for the longest time, then I switched the fuel lines and it fired right up. I'll take out that thermostat until I figure out the problem. -Steve

Have you checked your battery terminals??..they might be loose. This happened to my friend's NA. After dropping in his motor he drives around and motor just dies after 3K. Turned out that his battery terminals were loose.
