Is this a stock engine?
Hey Doug,
In my case no, the motor in my hot running 68/70 GT6+ is not stock.
Unfortunately, I am in the same boat as Todd for the PO did all the work on it
so,
how much modification was done is not known. I believe he said it will "GO
FAST".
Now I have all the shrouds, made out of aluminum. I wondered about that.
Is that a good idea? Heat transfer? I have the Oil Cooler but it sets right
in front of the aluminum radiator no doubt blocking some air flow. I have a
Jet Hot Coated Header which is supposed to transfer heat better but ask my
wife what it is like to ride in the passenger seat behind that sucker on a hot
day? Oh, bad for her but really pretty good for me for she strips to nearly
naked to cope with it! ( :
The worst thing is the breaking up after a period of hot running. I thought
it was the Crane ignition module going nuts but now I think it may be the
early Strommies heating up, expanding and sticking the pistons????
