    Thanks for the info mark. When I put the thermostat in is when I had the issues. Took it out and issues are gone.

    I did pull the hose off the rad from the head and fill it with coolant then rad ect. Lower hose just would not hear up.

    But it's all good. I'm getting the sleeved motor rebuilt AGAIN. and I won't be running a thermostat with the new cooling system setup I'm going with this time around.

    How's yours coming along man?

    It's coming along pretty well now currently setting up my fuel system not sure I wanna use the FCS fuel cell or not as its only 5 gallons but looks like that's what I am gonna do which will suck for the street but hell I seldom drive very far anyway .I've been out there the past few hours looking at the set up and just how I wanna set it up , run the lines , gotta fab up something for my 044 s to properly secure them to the under carriage in the dual hanger as I don't wanna have to worry about them and want the filters easily accessible as well .I got a lot of time in this thing and want it to be 100 % when I am done as I don't wanna have to fool with it any more than needed when completed.

    I got them for 55 a piece. But I hit Norris up on some sort of sale. My friend just grabbed a quote today priced at 60 a piece. And 330 on clamps would be insane. Haha
