[urq] v8 urq

[qshipq at aol.com]

Agreed on both Dave...? The install was one of the best install I've seen from 2B, as close to factory look as could be done I'd bet.? A bit of a hot engine problem with no room in the engine bay for hot air exit.? The all aluminum radiator in front of the engine didn't have a lot of room to push air around the v8.? 2B did an aux rad with a puller fan down where the urq intercooler originally was.? Still a problem with hot running (note, this is with a/c).? I give Andrew a lot of credit for 'not' wanting to cut hood vents.?? Alas, I offered he may not have a choice.

Drove him to the airport (after the Dawson hand-off in Glenwood Springs), where he was leaving within 24 hours for a business trip to China.? Definitely a good egg, and a little warped for that kind of commitment to the v8 transplant is all good in my book!
