Winter upgrades for 63Mako
Installing A/C. It is way to hot in summer. First step is a new March pulley system. Also increased air filter heights with taller K&N elements. Of course everything needed to be redone, fuel pump removed, reclocked, lines and filter relocated, alternator wiring is different, fan runs in reverse, spacer is different length. And a few other items but pullies are in. Waiting on a fuel fitting and fan, spacer delivery. A/C install is happening when I tear the dash out but I will get the underhood stuff done soon.

The engine and T56 generate so much heat it is unbearable in the car if it is really hot. The sidepipes are loud so it is not comfortable with the windows up or down for extended summer drives. Looking at dynamatting the inside, air and a decent stereo to make long drives comfortable. Last time I took an 8 hr trip my ears were ringing big time afterward.
