My overheating issue solved
Issue was retarded timing, but also need to add fuel Octane boost. The engine is an LS7 at 12.5 to 1 compression, wants more than 94 Octane. Retimed at 4 d BTC like supposed to be and then added 104+ and I can keep it at 180 degrees moving, and while in traffic I can turn on the electric fan to drop it from 210.

4 degrees is still a little on the retarded side. Reduced timing means less NOx and CO, but isn't necessarily best for the engine, fuel milage, or performance.

on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
Time for brakes
