Update , Added a peice of chromemoly to the core support and cut out the top . This allowed me to cut all the way to the main supports . Got another whopping 2" of room for a 24" radiator now . Going with and electric fan and a moroso water pump drive kit . This will allow me to ut the pump and fan in manual during the run or automatic in the pits and hang a battary charger on it and walk away . I was always the dont cut the support guy until i cut my support .

Just finished up the larger radiator upgrade . I think it came out good . The hood actually fits better than before . This truck was in a passengerside front wreck at one point in its life . It will idle in the garage for 15 minutes without overheating and will now cool itsself down and cycle the water pump and fan off on its own within about 10 minutes . Here are the final pics of what turned out to be a major upgrade .

Actually been cleaning this up . Pulled the single 14" fan and installed a single slimline 16" fan . Now it will sit and idle all day long at 165 . I am alot happier with it now . It sat in the garage in 90 air with no breeze and never got hot . Thinking i got this beat . Mostly maintaince items . Slicks were bald , paasengerside axle seal , clean up interior . Getting ready for this weekend . We will see . A buddy of mine called me a told me he had a set of slicks that "the sidewall had gone away" these have 6 passes on them . I told hime i get 200-225 out of a set and they work the best at 10% tread left . crazy crappy cell phone vid :

Broke #2 rod coming out of the burnout box as soon as the tires hooked . It found water and filled the oil pan . 36 passes . I beleive it was component failure , as it gave me no signs . Rev limit on the line lock 5500 . Top rev limit is set at 7300 . I was at 6100-6200 coming out of the box and BAM !
