Hoping to make NAMGAR in June in Memphis. The engine and transmission are finally in, but the body is still separate. I'd like to run the engine a little before we put the body back on because access, etc., is much easier. Anyone have a trick to mount the radiator so I can do this? I could bend some steel and make a rough frame I think. or should I just take out the thermostat and hook up a hose to the pump inlet and just run water through it while it runs? And yes, I know I need to install the valve cover! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
