nice runner!  I always use silicone on freeze plugs before installation and have never had one leak, should be good to go.

well I got it all back together and last night my heart sank after it'd been back together and refilled with water.  I saw some coolent on the ground and couldn't believe my eye's.  Hopefully this morning it won't be there, I just can't imagine why it'd be leaking again.  I just got everthing back together and I'm hoping that its just a drip from something else but we'll see when I go look at it today.

Does anyone have any suggestions on doing a electric fan setup.  See I hated the origonal fan and so I got a electric fan from school for 5 bucks off one of our cars that was a parts car.  I already wired it up as a seperate switch but I'd really like to get it setup so that its automatic and I don't have to manually turn it off and on.  Somebody told me that I shouldn't hook it up to my ign wire because the fan will act like a generator when I shut the car off and charge part of my system and keep the motor running until the fan slows down enough.  I called BS on it and he said "no seriously thats what happened."  What do you guys think?

i'm using a elect. fan and it seems to work very well. i cant tell any difference on the horse power i'm suppose to gain but its cool. u can get a automatic termo switch that turns the fan on when the motor isd hot and off when cold. its about 25 bucks at kragen.  by the way nice runner....
built lastnight, crawl today...
