Sounds like you have bad Coolant Bypass o-rings. When you ride along, it runs fine i'm guessing but when you turn the car off, does it leak coolant into the motor causing a nice cloud of smoke when you start it up?
That's what mine did. Had a Pettit motor in it and it was still womping folks even with that problem. I ran mine for about 4 more months, I put a pressure relief radiator cap on it and just bled off the pressure when I got done driving it. It will get worse though. I tried everything. Nothing worked and I swapped the motor. Once they go, they are gone. Engine has to come apart.
Not sure if you need anything for it, but I have some parts laying around. A/C compressor and I think the lines are on it. I have a stock set of springs and the front bumper support with the foam piece that sits on it to keep the cover from sagging. If you need any of it, let me know. It's just languishing in my storage bin. Just give me a PM and they are yours.
