93 Splash in SC, V8-Swap version

Not much going on. I'm still living at mom's house and helping her recover from hip replacement surgery. I have been working on electrical drawings. I got most of my custom drawings sketched out as far as I can without being there to see the wires and confirm details I misssed. Now, I'm cleaning them up and drawing them in the computer so they're neater and easier to follow. If I wasn't forced into this downtime, the drawings would have had to wait until much later and that makes the wiring harder. Now, I get to go home and wire it up to my design. Hopefully.

It won't.

You shit can the tight explorer set and replace it with the full van fead.

Hydroboost has its own demands and shortfalls.

Especially off road. The idea of the tighter explorer fead is great, but not necessary. I always open up the core support and maximize and forward the cooling system for the most part.

That is not necessary for normal low power applications in general . .but low range low speed off road under load..... especially with some horsepower it really pays off.

Wheeling the steering under load and braking will tax the pump to the point an Uber solid belt drive will develop issues...I actually slip the pulley sometimes and it walks...

That is an ass biter...

So anything less than Uber solid you will want to be ready

I wound up with a combo of F/E series fead with the saginaw pump. Core support was gutted to push the Ranger 2 core further out of the way. Hindsight, the Ranger radiator wasn't the best option, but it works.
