haha, you can try and hide that as a dream.... put i know you have
thought of it more than once! lol darksider!!!! >>
I don't know if you'd have the room for an AC compressor in the engine bay
with a t-4 though. There is some room in there, but I'm not sure there's enough.
I do know the AC was a cause for many t-3's to die. My old 70 Square was a
victim of this, and I was able to buy it cheap due to a blown motor caused by
the AC.
Keith, you wouldn't believe how easy the t-4 engine fits into the t-3 engine
bay. :O
I've been working on connecting the FI parts on mine. The engine is in, got
the fuel lines piped, got the electrical connected, just trying to work out
why my front fuel pump relay doesn't want to click and run the pump. I think
I've got a bad ECU, but I've got no way to test it. The Bentley doesn't go into
the ECU, but I was able to check all the wires from the main plug to their
ends. With the system I used (for an early 71), it follows the t-3 Bentley wire
for wire. This actually went easier than I thought it would, and I'm a carb guy.
: ) Sorry if I started to hijack this thread by going off on a tangent.
