Same here. Mine was overheating with the stock 4.3 radiator. I got the summit conversion radiator and flex a lite 220 dual fans and it'll run 180 all day long beating on it. Oh and I'm running a 160* t-stat. In the winter, I don't even use the fans...

Whats up with the oil? Leaking or what?

Yup, we have the exact same set-up. I went and bought my fans after you told me the part number

lack of oil can also contriubute to cooling failures.

v8 swap > dustin.

lol jk, but yeah just work the bugs out of it and youll be fine. i know mine had bugs that needed to be worked out, and im sure every other person that did a swap had bugs the first time around at least. its just part of doing what we do.

Forgot about that....good point.

And I've had my v8 running for 2 years and still find bugs that need working out...was overheating, oil leaks, trans leaks, shifter cable jammed up...blah blah blah. The list continues.

Keep up the good work.

jakethegriff · 08-27-2008, 10:08 AM

yeah I've gone threw alot of of hell getting mine to rund perfect as well, 2 intake gaskets, 2 cams, 3 kickdown cable, 2 tranny pan gaskets, 2 collector gaskets, and a complete new bottom end lol

lol, id prob cry if i listed.

TubbD · 08-27-2008, 06:05 PM

Well she is down right now. My belt tensioner started to come out of the bracket. So Acehaag brought the bracket to his work to get fixed and redone. Also we back flushed the radiator toady also. So hopefully that will solve that. Also, when I get my bracket back we are going to toss on a different steering pump in hopes I have power steering.

blazin2wd85 · 08-27-2008, 06:15 PM

just do a manual box and then only have the alt and water pump to run, it will look cleaner

thats one of my next plans..

dimerunner88 · 08-27-2008, 08:42 PM

theres alot of weight on the front wheels to run a manual box with a v8.

TubbD · 08-27-2008, 08:48 PM

Well it'd be better then the power steering box I run now with no power steering.

true, but power steering would be even better

blazin2wd85 · 08-27-2008, 09:27 PM

there isnt that much weight up front even with a v8. manual steering only sucks in tight spots when you arnt rolling, but then you just let off the brakes and let it roll a little bit

cpolaris502 · 08-27-2008, 09:56 PM

True^ My CRX had manual steering but i could never tell, then again, look at the size of that car. The guy who owned it before me thought it had power steering because he said that he tried to find out where to check the fluid before but never found it, lol.

Hell ya thats what i did this winter. Looks way better. Dont notice the differance that much. Dont be a bitch an man up some times.

v8lonoma · 08-27-2008, 11:02 PM

TubbD · 08-30-2008, 11:16 AM

Ahhh!!!

She runs hot still. But flushing the rad did help. It just doesn't get as hot as fast LOL!!

On the plus side, we got the bracket fixed, and I now have power steering

I do have a video of a walk around the truck, but my computer is broken at this moment. So no pics or vids till I get that fixed. =(

V8Blaze · 08-30-2008, 12:19 PM

damn sounds like you have as much problems with your v8 swap as i do lol, and i have bags also, atleast one thing on my truck works all the time lol,e xcept going up and down in the driveway isnt much fun if it doesnt run
