Default Need Help with a Few things

1. My Heatercore is bypassed, what does that mean? is it still in teh car with no lines running to it? what do i have to do to get it working again (for winter)?

2.Full Length SFC's, is it worth it to have them powder coated when installed? (yes they are full length and being welded in, but if i can not spend extra money that can be put towards other things it would be nice)

3. What are the benefits of an Aluminum Radiator? is it as easy as just unbolting the stocky and bolting this one in and just re-hoooking all the tubes? and adding coolant?

4. Whats the Biggest i can go on my Pony Rims??? any suggestions? i don't want a drag radial just a good traction street tire.

5. Motor Mounts how expensive of an install are they typically? mine are ****ty stock ones and is causing a headache with my headers and steering shaft.

1. If its bypassed, it means its bad and leaks indide the cabin

2. Spray with a coat of POR or something similar and be done with it

3. aluminum disspates heat fast then broze, yes

4. 245 or 255

5.just use a cherry picker to lift it up then swap'em and drop it back done

Answer for question 1. The lines no longer go to the heater core, ones an in, and ones an out. In order to fix this you have to pull the dash, replace the heater core and hoses if your smart and then you will have heat for the winter. The removal of the dash will take several hours if you have never done it before.

If you dont have a hoist you can unbolt old mounts and jack the engine up, just make sure you use a straight solid piece of wood.
