no issues but the HINSON radiator that i use is pretty thick. but weather wasn't so hot; rain all day on first day, cloudy and foggy on second day. i am almost done installing big mocal oil cooler as a precaution.

Nice torque! That motor is just begging for a larger cam! Stock heads?

Also, nice job running down an ultima with a car, that according to most on this board, handles like ****.

lol thanks dude! tiny cam and ported heads already although keep in mind that the motor was built in jan 1999 so a lot has been learned since then about porting ls1 heads. that torque is mostly courtesy of the stroker crank: 370 c.i.
