I'm researching Roll Cages for drag legality. Looks like I'm going to have enough power, so I may as well make her legal with a 10 point 8.5 second legal cage. Just wondering if anyone here has dealt with this on a van and what the results were as far as requirements special due to engine location?

Update (yeah a while huh? lol). Van has the radiator fitted, silicone couplers and small hard pipes made up and pressure tested at 25psi for 15 minutes with no drop. Think that'll work. Still have some figuring to do with the factory engine oil cooler plumbing that uses cooling system as right now its in series with the heater core, so basically when the temp is low it won't circulate, may be an issue haha. Working on the fuel system. Looks like my old photo bucket don't work no more so I'll see about link-ing a google public photo album. Some pictures of tank with dual hangars and getting the lines made up and mounting it so I can work on running the lines themselves. Decided to run 1/2" stainless hard lines for the feeds and return (2 feed, 1 return, all 1/2"). Should not be a fuel delivery problem based on capacity this way I hope smile

Installed Radiator pictures with silicone couplers and Breeze CT clamps (smooth inside, no cutting, holds great pressure). Stainless pieces for upper and lower, with beads rolled on ends to make high pressure seal. Lower hose had my brother put in a 1/4NPT bung for a bleeder as it's the lowest point in the cooling system. Had a "finger tight only" bleeder that worked great! Very easy to use and held pressure no problem. Held 25PSI for over 15 minutes with no drop for the whole system. Apparently the Viper engine in the truck takes 3 gallons of coolant... so When i filled with only 2, ended up short haha. drained it back out as much as I can for now, but bought a vacuum filler for when I fill later on. Happy with it so far. I'm planning to paint the radiator front side black so it doesn't stand out so much once the grill is back on, lol. Will either have 2 pusher fans or 1 pusher 1 puller, still deciding layout. Turns out I made enough clearance to front of engine accessories that I can fit a fan between the radiator and the engine with some room. Will see how it goes! smile Also when doing the engine I removed the brake line that went across the engine cross member. Basically any time you drop out the cross member you'd have to disconnect then bleed your brake lines. Seemed dumb to me so I ran a new line across the back of the bumper support in the front and tied it all in. Had to "couple" 2 lines together to get the length I needed but bled them out good, so brakes back to 100%.
