well, after a year and 5k miles and chasing an over heat issue trying to get it to make the silverton trip, kinda gotta throw in the towel, confirmed it lost a head gasket or a head is warped/cracked

At this point IDK, I want to do my full size bronco and I'm getting sick of it always being something wrong with this thing, I don't doubt that I can get it done, it'll probably take multiple weekends off to do, but also that vs having a new engine built for it at 210k. Gonna load it on the trailer and put it on the dead line in the field of dreams and start on my full size bronco and probably come back to it when I feel like it

a prophecy fortold

The way I look at it

I have fs bronco, a truck I have a retarded love for, it is the truck I drove dumb bitch #1 to clear lake up to and proposed, it was a relatively short marriage, that truck, aka extra special most bestest truck in the universe is getting the best power train all ford combo you couldn't buy brand new, that will leave a buildable 302, I am thinking/researching

Pleased to announce that after fan clutch and sc radiator it has officially ran for 1 month trouble free
Sorry, I'm confused... did you have a head gasket/head problem, or was it just a radiator issue?
