RE: Cooling system more

The Edelbrock alum water pump is a great upgrade, also if the rad is lower than the heads, get the overflow / filler neck that the Cobra kit cars use (it bolts on the intake and replaces the tstat housing) this helps to remove air from the head pockets.
the water wetter and ProBlends engine cool help a lot. They have additives for oil and water. Run about 25% coolant and the rest water, water cools better, antifreeze shouldn't be more than 30%, some run as little as 10~15%.

Look into different pullies. I had stock non A/C pullies and then did a conversion to stock A/C. The water pump and crank pullies have 3 grooves. The SIZE of the pullies is important! It causes the water pump to spin much faster at all rpms.

Also the fan shroud is very important, the fan should be about 1/2 in 1/2 out, and the shroud should cover the entire rad.
This thread, so far...
