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.

Leno’s Law has different meanings depending on who you’re talking to. Some think it will just flat out exempt you from California’s Smog Check program, but it can be misleading if you don’t have all the facts. We did some research, and provide details.

One area of a Hellcat Swap to a classic Mopar that needs attention is the bulky OE Intercooler Manifold. It’s big, and it’s ugly, and it needs to go. There are a couple of choices to replace it, and we called on our friends at Holley to help us with a solution.
For part two, we address the mounting of the two information display screens that are provided with the Dakota Digital HDX Series instruments. Finding a mounting location was simple once we saw that Dakota Digital had several options.
It all started with a dream, a couple of drawings, and some inspirational advice from his dad. What Jacob Griffin ended up with is his very first masterpiece: a custom build he calls “Shoe This”.
