after a few wheeling trips sight tube or not you will have a pretty good idea how much fuel you need. I always go out full anyway and it usually lasts all day. i hope the same with the 5.4

when i was supercharged that 4.0 would burn up 20 gallons in a day.

 

Nice choice on the radiator i was very pleased with mine for how little it cost im running a 31x19 and i never get over 190 degrees so im happy with it.

 

holy crap. when i was just rockin the 3.0, i got to the point where i could wheel a whole weekend with a/c on for just over a quarter of a tank. but, i never went out to the dunes like you did. i just crawled

 

yeah dunes i could easily go through the 20 gallons, crawling would be like 10 gallons a day maybe a little more.

 

im hoping i can run around 192-194 consistently.

 

nice progress, its getn there man!

 

can i come drive it yet?

 

A-pillar?

 

I already have the trans temp and oil pressure mounted there. I may make some type of center console thing?

 

Since its goign to be a crawler/dune runner - how about mounting it front and center abot where the rear view mirror would go up on the roof there? Gets them out of the way, and you dont have to cut up the dash to make them fit.

 

what did you do with your charged 4.0 BTW

 

he sold it

 

figured. those supercharger kits are like $5k.

 

ya i wish he sold it to me... could have killed two birds with one stone... needed an engine and want it supercharged lol

 

and you could have had both for under 2k... i had them for sale on here for over a month before it went on ebay and I gave the engine away.

 

I got my radiator the larger one(26x19) and my efan/shroud ordered. I cant really figure out how to mount it exactly but I am sure I can figure something out. I only have 3" from the water pump to the radiator. Not much room at all once you toss a fan in there. We will see if it all clears. If not I will have to cut out some tube that I put in to move the radiator more forward.

 

what about putting it in the back?

 

I dont want to run lines that far. Plus it messes with your cooling flow and performance. You really have to pay attention to what you are doing if you mount one in the rear.

 

yea. but if you dont have room up front, its an option

 

yeah it is, your right. Just trying to avoid it if at all possible. Im really tired of spending money and adding more variables to this project.

 

rear mount with a sick roof scoop/shroud FTW..lol

 

I vote for sell it and your F250 and buy one of these:

 

^ i vote that looks like a guranteed piece of ****.

 

SEXY AS FAWK

 

I vote you have no idea what your talking about.
