Probably not the cleanest install, and the engine bay is somewhat messy, but here it is.

Damn! that baterry is a Rats nest! But then your Jrat so it's acceptable.

Did it bolt right up or did you have to fab mounts for it?
I see you've got a finger chopper on there without a shroud.

It still performing hella good without one?

 

my perma seems to be fine like that but i think a shroud would greatly improve it.

you can take the bolts out of the water pump and the extra pullies...........

....a clean install doesn't mean it's any faster

 

HAHA. I'm sure it only looks like that since he and Ryan spent significant portions of the weekend helping me try to get my car ready for SS6.

Don't worry, after SS6 I'll help him clean that car up

Yeah, the reason the battery is a rats nest, is that I dont have time to install terminal blocks. So the entire cooling fan/relay/fan thermostat is wired kind of haphazardly. I tried to make it as clean as I could, but it still looks crappy. Hell, I may rip it all out this week and try a cleaner install. Its just got to be done quick, because 7stock is getting closer!!

You are definately right though, that battery is a nasty mess.

And the studs for the stock fan are in there, because I havent removed them yet.

i like alot how much was the rad can u post a link to where i can buy one and also what battery is that ? thanks alot

 

The battery should be an OPTIMA Yellow top

 

Ummm...

That battery IS an OPTIMA yellow top....

 

clean that **** up

 

hows the underheating problem coming along?

 

Great now, considering I have a fan thermostat installed!

 

fan thermostat?

 

yeah, ya know...A thermostat that controls the fan..

 

J-Rat - Nice engine bay. Looks like RS Motorsports work. (ask Ryan what it means)

 

was it a direct fit or did you need to modify anything (brackets ?).

 

do you have an aftermarket temp guage? If so what temps are normal?

 

Our cars have a 190 deg Thermostad so the temp is usally around 180-220, more if your running the engine really hard

 

The battery had to be half sized, for fitment, other then that, the radiator is direct fit.

 

where did u get the radiator ? and how much was it ?

 

Actually, the radiator is off Soul Assassin's car. I dont know who is an active vendor for the radiator now.
