I'm sorry but I have to be
I'm sorry but I have to beat this dead horse. On my CS280 which is currently 1/2 fresh I am replacing the exhaust manifolds from camel hump style to generic log. I would love to go full fresh but I'm concerned about doing it. Rick said a while back that he thought my heat exchanger would handle it based on the pictures I had. On my intake manifold the housing has 4 outlets. Two are connected and currently one side has a plug. The other 2 are connected but are dry there is no connection to the antifreeze. Antifreeze comes up from the block and out into the current two. So I can run each side to the low end of the log then run the high sides back to the exchanger. Finally here's the question the current exchanger only has 1 hose opening about 1 1/4" for the return so if I tee it off and run the high sides back to this I will be bring (2) 1 1/4" hoses into a 1 1/4" opening. Will it be too much restriction? On the water pump on the engine there is a hose approx 5/8 that comes out and goes to the tranny cooler then back to the exchanger also to another opening. I currently have no thermostat but plan to add a 160 if I do this. Sorry for the long winded speech. I'm just afraid if I do this I will end up with a hot running engine and have to reverse everything. I'm trying to cover all the bases. Thanks in advance.
