I do still have the stock radiator. Where are you located?

Ran warmer. If I had kept the truck (just so it) I would have been doing something in addition to the external cooler. I did not like that my trans seemed so hot.

Yes, an external cooler. But I was running a 5.3 ls motor with a mid grade cam and everything

No, I had a trans cooler already and just moved it. The aluminum radiator helped in that it cooled down faster but my gear shifter stayed hot in the summer like you could barely touch it.

yes

thanks, it was addressed at that time... i just didnt know it was like that in the picture

88 fj62 v8 swap 5.3 chevy vortec, 4L60e trans, thumpr cam, headers, true duals, flowmaster mufflers, ome heavy suspension, front winch bumper with engo 9000# winch. truck has 263k miles, engine swap / suspension / winch bumper done summer 2017 engine was rebuilt at swap and has 21k miles...

I understand what you're saying, my v8 swap was done by a shop that's really why I have so much in it. I just thought I would get more response... Even it didn't sell fast which I really didn't expect. My 62 is also my daily so I haven't done some things because of that and I have kids and they...

Yeah I thought about that too...presentation is pretty poor.

I think I learned a lot from mine and all I did. If I were to do it over, I probably wouldn't have done the v8 swap and just did a freshen up on my stock motor and trans.

So just curious, if you have had a 62 or similar and put some time and money into it with building it up and then had to sell it. Realistically I know the expected amount would not match the invested amount but, What is reasonable? Lets say I have 30k all total including purchase price in my 62...

i thought i had posted them...and it needs a vacuum lol
