[QUOTE="Low Class Yuppie, post: 16642624, member: 130505"] I've been collecting a lot of parts for my COP conversion, and I figured "while I'm in there" I'll get some other parts powdercoated along with the valve covers. I'm also replacing a few bits and pieces to keep it looking nice under the hood. Of course, the end result of this particular bout of the dreaded Project Scope Creep is that, now, I've decided to perform a full cooling system service as well, so I'll be removing my coolant crossover (not looking forward to this at all) and sending it to the powdercoater along with the other stuff, as well as replacing all of the hoses, the water pump, and the thermostat. I've got a hex-head crossover plug, a set of viton crossover O-rings, and a Motorcraft water pump, thermostat, and gasket all on their way to me as we speak. It'll be nice to know that all of the fluids and hoses are fresh before I beat on what is now a quarter century-old car at test & tune night, especially since I'll be changing the plugs when I do my COP conversion (last changed a couple days after I bought the car), performing an oil change, and replacing the brake fluid when I swap in my new brakes. I am still on the fence about replacing the radiator with the Mishimoto unit. Since my car was originally sold in Canada, the cooling TSB was never performed, so it can get hot when I'm running the A/C in the summer. Some folks say that the Mishimoto radiator fits great and solved all of their cooling issues, while others state that it fits like crap and didn't help at all. [/QUOTE]
