Well there is your problem .... your radiator is plugged! You may have to replace it as I doubt there is enough air to blow that out. Try a couple of bottles of beer to loosen it up first.

C5 FF


I had a similar concept.....but go green and do away with the engine altogether. I call it the new C5 FF. The FF stands for Fred Flintstone. Runs on beer and pizza.

I was thinking something similar. Was going to say he has the intake and exhaust installed backwards.

Cool picture and good luck with the install.

Industries first non-belt driven supercharger! Comes complete with rear mounted blow-off valve and that tell tale SC whistle.
