Get a sacrificial anode to put in your radiator--I got mine from JC Whitney--and you should not have that kind of problem again. You have electrolysis going on and it eats away at aluminum. I run aluminum heads, intake, radiator, and water pump, and I use the sacrificial anode to avoid this problem. The water neck is just your first symptom of a potentially bigger problem.

The one i had i actually could put my thumb thru the hole. that chrome covers pretty well to hide a hole like that. I saw that it was leaking and shut it down good thing i saw this cause after pressure would have built up that prolly would have been a mess.

For sure!! I recall Jim's torsion bar suspension on at least one of his builds, but I'm not sure which one! Maybe the Track T?? He's a talented builder.
