Default Its time

Today, after much frustration with overheating problems, oil leaks, idling issues, and other problems i made the executive decision to quit messing around and go big. the 302 is coming out to be replaced with a 408. Im going to the junkyard to get a nice roller block tomorrow. Hopefully santa will talk to fullauto and bring me a 408 scat kit(if not ill just have to buy one) and ill be piecing the motor together. Few questions, since i have to get a new intake i was thinking about one of those spyder manifolds, but with a 700+ price tag its a little steep, so i hit up ebay and saw this thing(see link below) Anyone had any expeirience with this manifold? I figure when i sell my two trickflows i can be close to having the cash to buy it. Anyone got any advice/comments for me? R.Barn, feel free to chime in here

Well. My close buddy has a 408 roller motor with tw heads and spyder intake for sale. It has a cracked oil pan. He has over 20k in reciepts for the build. He wont sell just the motor, he offer me the car for 7000. It has a aem computer, tko 500, strange 8.8,adjustable coilers, tubular k, baer brakes,aeromotive fuel sys,great lookin body, and pulls very hard. The car was done right and just needs the pan replaced. I just finished a motor build earlier this year and wrapped up well over 7 in my motor. Just an idea.

i still think you have a clogged radiator
Today i hooked up the hose to it and it had no resistance whatsoever. The water poured out of the bottom of the radiator as fast as i could get it in. No back up at all
