Yep. Needs more air. Think i found the culprit. When the shop mounted the motor, the oil cooler HX was in the way of the steering box. The removed that and installed an oil cooler coil. Its also mounted upstream of the condenser coil.
Hot oil coil preheating the air isnt helping matters at...

Thanks

No. Its not an Icon, but I like their play on these.
I used some of the same stuff they did, but its different. I reworked a stock dash. It was a challenge to the fab guys.
It turned out super nice as a platform, but for the time, we could have built a new one from scratch.
We dropped in...
Got the motor up and running. Fired off. Quiet even with exhaust off.
Charging up AC next and then some rides around the block
