Bojo's 73 Project

[Totalled]

Well, it got cold, so if course my step dad's Ranger decided to crap out another A4LD trans. So I'm in the middle of a manual swap on it, besides being busy.

Got the car out for a quick run today. Found several issues that I will need to address. The motor ran great and there is a lot of power. Gets to 60 really quick, I ran out of memory while I did that so it didn't record. At about 47 mph the motor is turning around 1700 rpm with the 3.89 rear so its not too bad. I figure to be turning around 2700 rpm at 70 mph so it will be livable. Things that I'll need to address:

* Put a trans oil cooler on. The cooling lines felt hot.

* Lower the PS steering pump pressure alittle. The steering is really too sensitive.

* Fix an annoying squeak coming from the driver window.

Not alot of things but I have the winter to fix everything.

Posting a video but it's not very good and a liitle boring to watch but fun when behind the wheel. Going to have to figure out a better mounting system and I'll put several short clips of various section of the drive into the video of different performance aspects of the car in a week or so. Weather is supposed to get bad tomorrow.



thx

Worked on trying to figure out how I was going to mount the tranny oil cooler today. On the B&M cooler the fan draws air through the cooling plates so that prevented me from mounting directly to the radiator core. What I came up with was to create a frame ahead of the radiator that had at least 5 inches clearance for the cooler assembly. The location that I chose allows me to run the cooling lines on the left side and to access the thermostat at the bottom right. Tomorrow I will paint the frame black and permanently mount the frame and cooler. Then I will just need to run the electrical and cooling lines and it should be done. Using AN fittings so attaching the cooing lines should be easy. Attached some pics.

thx
