Ford V6 2.9
Hi Guys
Im finally starting my locost and am currently fiting a Ford V6 2.9i. I have 2 questions that hopefully some one can help me with.
1 What type of rad should I be looking at using?
2 What front spring ratings should I use?
Thanks in advance.
Dave

Dave,
I have a four core rad which is a bit over the top - A lot of guys go volvo.
I have 300 lbs springs in the front and they seem just dandy...
Cheers, Neil.
If you pay peanuts...
Mentale, yar? Yar, mentale!
Drive it like you stole it!

a vw polo 1.0 rad will cool it no problem and is really light.
There are plenty of us with over 200hp using this rad with no issues.
PS no I haven't gone mad, that is correct!!! I drive a 2.9 sierra 4x4 as my daily tow car, and my locost has 50hp more power but a tiny rad, and
in 350 miles of driving the first time the fan kicked in was last friday, in the hot sun in rush hour traffic in leicester city centre.

Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
