Champion Cooling Systems
We’ll admit it: we were excited about Leno’s Law, too. And when it failed the first time, we were angry because it’s getting harder and harder to find emissions parts for our 40 year old cars. But when it was signed into law, we all got a little giddy. Too soon?
One of the more appealing aspects of an older car is the simplicity of the electrical system: no fancy sensors and switches that control engine function. But swapping a modern engine into a classic changes that perspective as we added the Crate Harness to the Redeye.
We swore that at some point Project Windstorm was going to have the ultimate A/C system for those hot summer nights. But planning for it in a modified vehicle like Project Windstorm is made much simpler with the Vintage Air Gen 5 Magnum Mock-Up Kit.
An oil separator – or catch can – can be a very important component that shouldn’t be overlooked whether you’re swapping a modern engine into a classic car, or you own a modern vehicle. But if they’re so good, why don’t new cars have them?
State Bill 1392, dubbed Leno’s Law, has moved further up the pike than any of the previous state bills aimed at rolling up the smog test exemption. It has passed the Assembly and Appropriations Committee, but still has to get a little further before it passes. Will it?
When you hear someone say that a classic musclecar is a sleeper, what do you expect to see when you turn to see it? Instead of trying to convince you to agree with us, we asked a couple of friends we watched on TV to see what they have to say about it.
It seems almost every summer, when the temperatures rise higher than usual, overheating concerns plague our customers. Sometimes it’s a simple, often overlooked issue that can be fixed without going to an expensive shop, or by replacing parts that don’t need replacing.
Most switches handle up to 15 amps, but when the component you want to switch on requires more than twice the amperage, a relay will safely allow the current to flow without overheating the switch. We explain how the relay functions, and provide valuable pointers.
As with most any modern engine swap for a classic car, there’s going to be some modern technology that comes along with it. Fortunately, we weren’t left to searching the wrecking yards for a few of the parts, they were available directly from Mopar.
These old Toyota Trucks were all the rage for lifted and lowered activity back in the 1990s. Then a trend shifted, and we didn’t see too many of these for a while. But they’re making a comeback in a big way. Find out how Scott got a new factory engine for just $200!
