    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    After a long mental block, I’ve finally finished my trim pieces for the top. I really need my garage back, but the tops off my FJ40 and the roll cage is preventing me from fitting these trim pieces. Here is the finished product, sorry for the dark pics as the top is out in the dark. The...

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    No disrespect to city racer, but my LED headlights snowed over last winter. Just replaced them with a set of heated JW Speaker headlights. Had to slight carve out some of the headlight dish.

    4-year Power Window Project (nearing completion)

    Great timing on this thread, I ordered the curved kit from some Landcruiser vendor and the crank switches. I couldn't understand how you use the crank switch with the curved window kit: Universal Electric Power Window Crank Handle Switch Billet Aluminum Car Truck « autoloc.com -...

    Troubleshooting SBC overheating issues

    I don’t know the exact compression ratio, I probably should do a compression test just verify. But I bought it from a guy who had a reputable builder build it. Talked to both of them and they said regular unleaded, but could give me an exact ratio. I didn’t know that too much octane would make...

    Troubleshooting SBC overheating issues

    Just to be clear from my original post, the cooler range sparkplugs solved the knocking. I am running iron heads at a lower compression yet I am running premium fuel with octane booster. I have backed off the booster since I installed the cooler range spark plugs. When I advanced timing to...

    Troubleshooting SBC overheating issues

    I have both an IR temp gun and a borrowed IR Fluke camera. I've verified temp'ing near the temp probe in the intake manifold that the temp is fairly accurate. It's coming on at 190. For coolant, I'm using premixed 50/50 dextrol.

    Thermostat open at 180, fan on at 190, off at 180.

    Troubleshooting SBC overheating issues

    Here are some pics. I do have a th400. Very little clearance between the water pump pulley and electric fan housing. With my radiator cooling 20 degrees from top to bottom, do you think a mechanical fan will do better? Now it’s not 110 here but I am staying cool now that I have AFR, timing...

    Troubleshooting SBC overheating issues

    I'm confused, go modern brushless fans or go mechanical? Are you saying go brushless, cause I want electric, but you went mechanical? Are you running AC with the mechanical fan?

    Troubleshooting SBC overheating issues

    Long story, but I'll try to outline some good trouble shooting steps for cooling issues. I have a restomod with a 383 stroker. I've dumped waaaaaayyyyyyy too much money in it and for the last y ear it's been running hot. The saga started when I charged the AC at a friends shop and it overheated...
