lol, well eventually this will be commercial plated and company lettered, so my goal is nondescript boring old gen 1 work astro. This way it blends in and I can go about my business without undue attention on the vehicle. The plan is it doesn't stand out apart from audibly, and for that I would love an angry buzz.
Here is the donor engine running before I pulled it from the car in the video for rust and accident reasons. It was straight piped and I like the note-
1980 MB 240D straight pipe - YouTube
so Im definitely going with the stock astro radiator. the vane part not including side tanks is 42.75 cubic inches, over the MB stock 38.25 CI without top/bottom tanks, so its actually larger even though its thinner, and the inlet and outlets are on the same sides to boot, conveniently. That knocks the whole radiator mounting issue on its head.
Three primary systems need to be resolved before the test start. Cooling, oiling, and clutch hydraulics
