Making Of The Willy Mammoth

[Willy Mammoth]

I was told by Banks that increasing the fuel rate would increase the exhaust temp and the boost. I would get a new Pyro gauge first, but looks like you should be in good shape to increase it some if it don't smoke at full throttle now.

What brand of pump do you have and is it vacuum actuated?

Project new larger radiator.

Picked up the new 85 Ford Explorer 4.0 v6 radiator today.

This is what it looks like now before I cut it up.

You mean 95, right Mark? 

Also, do you plan to run it sideways, like you took the pic??  I thought some of the cores you were looking at were routed that way.

Nice, I'm just wondering when you  will end up melting down the old one and make something out of it.

Gold sequins!    it's just all beat up, that's the paint all scraped off it!   

[Willy Mammoth]

Here is the stock radiator in the Mammoth.    A little big you think 

[Willy Mammoth]

Here is the plan, I am removing the plastic tanks and building new ones with aluminum.

The new tanks will be made to make the radiator into a two pass, BUT, not the way everyone else does it. 

I gotta be differant. I am using the back half as the first pass and the front as the second pass.

This should make it the most efficient.

As the water flows through the back half it is at it's hottest and will be cooled down some. Then it will flow through the front where the coolest air is and be cooled down even more.

Even as the air is heated up from the 2nd pass which is in the front, it will not be as hot as the water in the back 1st pass, so it will still be able to remove heat.

This same principle is used in refrigeration so it should work here as well.

Another sneak peak

[79coyotefrg]

man that thing should run cooler than a   with new chrome

[Lady Di]

   MrW sounds like he is pleased with how it is going. He's out in the garage singing to the radio at the top of his lungs!

A little more fitting and I can weld the last tank on.

[Willy Mammoth]

The main work is done.

Finished the fitting and ran a bead of Ultra Grey down the middle to seal the divider.

Put the tank on and welded it up.

Tomorrow I will weld some angle on the tanks to mount it with and remove the old brackets on the frame.

Then it is time to install it.

[6.72:1]

That's some nice welding!

[Bazzi]

damnit isn´t he up allready??


I can´t wait till that tank is fitted in the truck.

[Lady Di]

     he's up! 

[Rocksurfer]

  what's he up to now?

[Bazzi]

mrs W tell us what he´s up to

[Willy Mammoth]

It is Farters day over here and I went to see my Pop.

I'm back now and am trying to get motivated to go back out in the garage.

[unclejpl4x4]

U bin working so hard why don't U take the day off.

[Willy Mammoth]

U bin working so hard why don't U take the day off.

   

You's funny, and like who's gonna do all this work then?
