Sometimes I just can't take it...UGH!

So I have been working all winter on doing some upgrades and hoped to be done in time for SOB. I have done an EFI upgrade, PS box upgrade, Serpentine set up, Onboard air and electric fan.

Well I got everything worked out and been making some minor adjustments and it all runs pretty well. So it's time to road test it. One of the last things I needed to do was fill the radiator.

Turns out I have not 1, not 2 but 3 leaks. One is in the radiator, one is at the back of the block (looks to be the intake) and the third is at the front of the intake.

So I have to basically remove everything to re-seat the intake and have teh radiator fixed. What a PITA!

Just wanted to rant a little.

Rant read and understood, now go fix it so you can drive it! It will be worth it in the end, you know it will!

Did you swap EFI onto a old engine? if so I believe your supposed to use the old style intake gaskets. Using the new style causes leaks.

I did drop an EFI onto a old engine and that may be my issue because I definitely have leaks!

Thanks for the tip.

I took the radiator off today and got it to the radiator shop. After thinking it over I think it willbe less work then I first thought but still a pain.

Thanks a bunch for the tip. I would have taken it all apart and ended up with the same problem.
