I'm definitely adding this feature. I can barely get in the car in the shop now with no doors because of the cage and seat. Can't imagine adding a door and a trailer wall.

That downshift at the top of the hill right before the smoke started sounded like a zinger. Any word on whats broken?

Yeah that’s where it went bad. It wasn’t anything unusually high rpm or anything so I don’t know what went wrong. Still have to pull plugs and see what I see but I’m swamped with work and customers are freaking everywhere ATM.
Hope its repairable and not a total loss.
Amen--hope it's SALvegable...

I can't afford faster better stronger....I'll be lucky to have it driving under its own power again.

Hey, that's 1973 dollars. You'd need over 41 million today.
Ahh, inflation...

Fingers crossed the engine looks okay.

FWIW, I noticed you grabbing the cabinets climbing out of your car in the trailer. I went to school on that and am installing a handle next to the car at roof line height, to help me out.

Here's a fun article on single, dual and 3 pass radiators.

AFCO Offers Customizable Radiators To Perfect A Cooling System
When you make big power, the laws of combustion dictate that you make more heat. More power may have your engine temps giving you fits.
