What’s your input on running without a radiator?? Seen many cars in one and done heats run with out them,obviously they are prolly methanol…is just filling it all the way with water then looping the hose all that’s needed?or do you need the inline radiator cap for pressure build up??
Thanks

You need an inline radiator cap connector / speedway sells them relatively cheap. I’ve ran many times with just looped lines but we also only have 10-20 min heats/ mains. Never had an issue and kept some water in the block that way. And it was just plain old gas in stock motors, or cheap sbc.
Running longer or an expensive motor I’d prob wouldn’t unless you’re going out for mad dog.

Yep, still need an in-line pressure relieftho seen a few not put one and blew the hose less then a min in from pressure. |
