3800 SC engine over heating

<< < (2/6) > >>

eddie:
only one??

Jimbo:
Ok thanks for the update. Since mine is registered as special construction I don't need to install any cats. I do have a new radiator 3 core with an electric fan that is supposed to have a higher CFM. Hoping that is enough.

CCIE:
Still working through the issues. Cats was one of the issue. Rads and fan is another. More to follow since this is a back-burner project.

eddie:
here is the ecm and headers

eddie:
I used the Mustang 3.8 v6 headers with small mod on middle flange. need enlarged bolt on hole mounting , and used Mustang header gaskets. they are pointing down so the heat is lower. I have no issues car runing inside the garage and 90F heat. btw get Spal fans 12" 1630 cfm . the one that comes with Delsol rads are half of cfm. my engine is stock only smaller pulley and flashed chipped ecm. engine is 99 GTP but ecm is 97 or 98 due to you can opeb a little cover and replace chip. and for last I have all wiring notes witch wire is for what , ( two plugs did my own harness)
