Diver.....I'm assuming you mean an electric water pump.....don't quite understand how that works... I think Chrysler wants something like a 20 degree drop from the water exiting the head.....to entering the water pump. the radiator should remove that 20 without the fan having to run.....I will have to wait for summer to find out if it is fixed.... maybe with your setup moving more water faster... the rad doesn't have to remove as much heat per pass??? anyhow maybe you can go into more detail?? thanks.. larry

It is a inline electric water pump that is small and very efficient. It has a controller the senses water temp and will speed the pump up or slow it down to stay in radiator longer so fans can cool the water. here is a link http://daviescraig.com.au/electric-water-pumps Read up as they have lots of info and instructions.

You can even take a one of their aux pumps and install a small heat core with a motorcycle fan to help you get rid of the heat. Ebay sometimes has super deals on the davi pumps

checked out the davies/craig link you gave, and u-tube... looks like a first rate setup...could definitly optimize radiator capacity.....that said ....the heat still has to get to the air...so I am banking on the shrouding and scoop to do the job. 2 other things to mention....new piston rings can make a little more heat,but about a 100 miles on it ....rings should be seated......one other thing...setting a code for no injector sync signal being recognized by the computer. have not worked on this problem other than replacing the hall effect pickup for inj. sync......didn,t help. larry

fenders

going to fit up these fiberglass fenders this summer (35-7 ford pickup) also have a flh type fiberglass fender for the front

handlebar switches

added these switches to each bar......Harley type...they had small wires so needed relays......from surplus center..

 

[LarryA]

turn sig relays and flashers

this relay panel will fold up and close the bottom of the dash....got to be quite a snarl of wire but everything works! not my quote, but it has been said,that the last 10 percent of the project takes 90 percent of the time...boy were they right!!

Very cool, Larry! Did you get your cooling issues solved?

 

[LarryA]

there is a thread here , called cooling solved. cooling is a common problem when good airflow is sub par.....suggest you make this a priority early on! Wish I did. Larry
