Temporary Gauges
Here are the 5 gauges I set up to test fire my engine in the chassis. These are enough to monitor and tune the engine.

Ford_Raditor_Heat_Rejection_Chart- Street Rod Example
This chart compares the heat rejection rate (cooling capacity) of three different types of radiators tested on an old Ford Street Rod. Coolant flow rate is held constant at 7 gpm (typical flow at idle perhaps, not sure where its being measured ???). It graphs the heat rejection for each radiator versus air flow through the radiator core. It is comparing 3 diff rad designs/materials at different CFMs through the core. The more air flow you have for a given coolant flow rate (7 gpm in this example) , the higher the heat rejection, basically linear in this example. The author of this graph is most likely selling the high efficiency radiator showing the improvement over the other two designs. To sum it up, the radiator at the top of the chart appears to be the most efficient at a low coolant flow rate (7 gal/min) over all air flows tested. Ya see how important rad core/tank design is? I learned something here.

Inside the door skin
I took this shot to show how the hinges and latches have been reinforced with steel. This is a shot seldom seen on most kit cars. By the way the latch will be electric and operable by remote, push button, or manually. Just a small liberty taken here.

Edelbrock/Ford SVO 429/460 Pump Flow Chart
Here is a chart I put together that compares the two different popluar pulley sizes available in the aftermarket for the 429/460 in fancy shmancy polished powder coated clear aluminum pulleys. The big pulley is not the way to go, you cant get enough flow to cool these high horsepower motors on the street.

Modified Lower Radiator Hose
Here is the modified lower hose to keep the surge tank on the LOW pressure side (water pump inlet) of the system. Not the most elegant but very functional. I found a glass filled nylon "T" taht is 1.75" and has a 1.0" fill line for the surge tank.

ERA 289 FIA and CSX 2490
Tom Cotter's original 289 Cobra and my ERA 289 FIA - easy to see here how much wider the FIA body was to accomodate larger racing tires.
