the radiator isnt clogged, but the cooling system could be, cuz it sat for about 1 year after it blew head gasket... then i had the head rebuilt etc. but everytime i do a cooling system flush it springs a leak, the first time was the water pump, then the metal tube in the back of the water pumps o-ring tore and i didnt notice, the the thermostat gasket gave... so i did all that and gunna try and flush again tomorrow... btw both top and bottom are getting hot and both are bulging, they arent as mush as they were before i started the first flush, and when i fill the rad up this morning a huge chunk of yellowish rubber came out the top, it looked like gasket maker crap, i snap a pic of that tomorrow after the zoo... oh and water pump is brand new too! on top of that i broke the new temp sensor off in the housing by over tightening it. dang it i hate my self now..... anyone have any tricks of hooking one up somewhere else?? lol

picked up a 90 probe gt turbo just contemplating whether or not i can do the fab work lol
neptune   +1y
ok i want some opinions lol, i got the gt turbo for free cus it was all smashed up, but it seems like a ton of fab work and i dont have the tools, but i also have a sbc 350 with a th350 and a posi rear end in my van that seems like it would be alot easier fab work to get into it.. plus it has estimated 200hp.. my buddy said to just drop the v8 in it since its not my daily and i wont need to waist gas with it, and he would help me do it for the probe motor.. since i got it for free i really dont mind just giving it to him since he has the time to do it himself lol and he has givin me more than what the motor is worth since i have known him... but which swap would you prefer?? and which one do you think i should do? i dont care if its a chevy in a ford product LOL just curious oh its a 75 block so no computers or anything like that with the 350 either.. i think i would need ms with the f2t
