    Re: Relocating Radiator

    Not that power isn't fun but one thing you could do to make your cooling a bit easier is back off on the motor, I only know a little about running a swb 4wd in the desert but it seems 400-450hp is definitely adequate and the guy that we're all chasing (don moss) isn't running a fire breather at all.
    Trading some power for reliability and easy cooling could make racing easier. The more power you make the more heat you have to reject.

    Re: Relocating Radiator

    On a serious note thou, I have been thinking of stripping my truck and doing one of three things.

    1 Building a new 8 truck (that I cant afford to race)

    2 Building a new 1400 truck (that I cant afford to race)

    3 Building a 3 Bronco.

    The only issue that I cant get around is that any time you start doing 60 mph average speeds in the desert, it just gets expensive. A really fast 1400 truck would cost just as much to operate and my 8 truck becouse the whooping the parts take is the same.

    But I just dont know about class 3. It seems that it would be alittle less expensive to prep than my truck. But I am just not sure.

    Bronco-You're a dad now, so you need play the part and race an SUV. Just don't forget the baby seat....

    How's the baby?
