More miles in Savannah this weekend. I’ve been trying to get the most out of her before I put her down for some maintenance in a month or two.

If I ever get to the point that I’m afraid to get this car dirty and she becomes a garage queen, rip the keys from my cold dead hands. Drive them, get them dirty and clean them up! Rinse and repeat.

It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve had Savannah out for some drive time. She deserved this!

Saturday morning hits with a cloudless sky and 600 ft lbs of torque at your right foot!

Serious cooling for a serious engine.

Recently Savannah started running a little warmer than I’d like. The aging radiator had been through two engine R&R’s and had sprung a small leak. The old single 15” fan was struggling in warmer temps. I decided to try out a Mike Montanari shroud for the Cold-Case Aluminum Radiators CHC11, topped with Maradyne High Performance M142 fans. The result? An average 10 degree cooler running temperature in 90+ degree heat, in slow city traffic. Certain running conditions, like through 25mph slow moving traffic, on and off the throttle, observed cooling was better by over 15 degrees. I’d call that a success!

As a bonus, these parts really cleaned up the install too!

Rolling into the weekend. Savannah will be down for a couple weekends while I rehab her cooling system. New radiator, shroud, fans and wiring upgrades.

Who’s got some last minute projects they’re doing now that summer is here?
