Vs Ute 383 Stroker in the build.

[HDN05LParticipant Canberra ACTVS Olympic Edt 383 stroker Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 289]

I went to run the heater hose lines and thought they looked bloody ugly and ran everywhere, plus it doesn’t help when the copper lines that come through the firewall are facing a different direction then what i needed.

So i decided to cut them back in the cabin and make up my own copper lines that i can then run behind the manifold. Which will look a lot neater once they either covered in braid or coated black. It also makes it easy with hoses as all i need is straight hose now or i can use braided.

I will be just using heater hose and double the clamps up just to make sure its sealed.

Those pipes will be fine as long as they butt up against chopped core pipes….in fact that’s how lot of people changed heater cores by cutting pipes & sliding old core out then hose & 2 clamps saving heaps of time rather than pull dash apart & rest of it

 

Crap spot & angle the the way those pipes come out from factory…worse when working on manual v6 shitboxen

 

Cool tricks,keep at it dude.

yea very neat solution, nice work

[HDN05LParticipant Canberra ACTVS Olympic Edt 383 stroker Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 289]

Finally have it ready for paint. The problem once i go down this road i keep coming up with extra things to do. Should be off to paint next week, then i will finish getting the motor all finished up and sitting in the powder coated sub frame.

Also finished off my custom thermo fan shroud. I adapted twin ford mondeo thermos. It is blows some serious air.

Good progress mate, be nice to see it in colour..

[WraithParticipant View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 50]

Would of been easier going big single FG thermo and shroud but since when do us car guys take the easy route.

Looking good mate.

[HDN05LParticipant Canberra ACTVS Olympic Edt 383 stroker Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 289]

Yeah i have an fg thermo but just didnt suit the clean look i wanted. Plus the fan would have sat above the radiator surround. Trust me i tried to make it work but to much hassle.

The shroud was my first attempt at mig welding and fab work. Once its powder coated should look nice and clean.

The big test will be does it work effectively I had something similar on the vk still got hot in traffic then I put a au thermos with factory shroud after that not more over heating in traffic ,, now burn out was a different matter  got photo if you want to look

[HDN05LParticipant Canberra ACTVS Olympic Edt 383 stroker Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 289]

Did you have twin mondeo fans? These run 3000 cfm supposedly.

I had some smaller twin 10 inch thermos before and they just couldnt keep it cool. Plus i also had a blocked ac condenser in front of the radiator.

Really like the look of the boosterless master, is there any benefits other then looks? Also how does it work?

[HDN05LParticipant Canberra ACTVS Olympic Edt 383 stroker Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 289]

For me i wanted a clean look in the engine bay.

To be honest most people say the pedal feel is a bit harder. But i will be upgrading the front brakes to the wilwood 4 piston set up so it should work well once thats done.

They were au v8 falcon fans it was just the way the factory shroud worked with pulling air through with the fans Now that I look at my old aluminium one your one look more like the au setup

Bf has a better shroud IMO I found it also cooled mine better.

[WraithParticipant View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 50]

BF/FG Big Single on the old VS. Was my old mechanics handy work could of probably made the cuts neater and used some pinch weld but not too bad.

[HDN05LParticipant Canberra ACTVS Olympic Edt 383 stroker Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 289]

I previously had a bf setup but now that i have made the radiator surround it wouldn’t fit. I have tested both and they both pull very similar. I will just see how they go.
