Hello everyone thanks for replying to the last topic. I figured I'd start another one more specific this time. So part of the deal is I need to prove my falcon is ready by daily driving it around town for at least about 2 weeks around Christmas. I had some questions about doing som like that.
1.the frame is pretty good but I'm worried salt on the roads will change that and rust frame
2. I have a 195° thermo ready to plop I'm with some actual antifreeze. Also if I drain the block how do I refill it. Like just put the hoses back on and pour it in but will the pump suck it into the block in time. Do I leave the rad cap off to bleed air
3. What oil should I use. I was thinking 10-40 or 10-30 for winter. Honestly I'm getting fine pressure out of 10-30 so I might just stick with that don't want thick oil unless I need it.
4. How long do these need to "warm up" before I should be able to drive it.
Thanks all for staying with me. I know my questions can be weird and very basic but I appreciate all the help you have given me. The falcon runs because of it. If all goes right and she handles the winter for 2 weeks we will work out a time to drive it down to good ol AZ.
