stupid big block questions:
Okay. Here's the run down. This will be my first RB in an a body. I'm swapping my 69 cuda over to a 440 in the coming days. I've got a few questions, but first the low down on the drivetrain.
71 440 .030
over. srp forged flat tops, comp mechanical flat tappet .540 lift unsure of
dur., forged crank .10/.10 clevite 77 bearings, chamfered oil passages,
balanced assembley, shot peened ly rods with all arp hardware on the lower
end. The heads a fresh(have break in time on em) 906 casting W/modified
intake ports (max wedge style), the exhaust ports are huge. The heads were
built by the only guy in are area w/ a flow bench and flow a little over 300
cfm on the intake side @.600 lift, these ports are huge. The intake has
been modified to match the heads so its ported, and welded also. The heads
have 2.14/1.81 valves-ductile iron rockers and hardened shafts. Running a 4 seconds
flat ignition, holley 830cfm double pumper, solid cam roughly .540 lift, .292 duration.
SEEKING RECOMMENDATIONS ON:
1. fuel pump....manual or electric, brand, model, etc.
2. electric fan or flex?
3. TTI or Tri-y's? (69 barracuda with power steering).
4. How big of a transmission cooler? I'm running an aluminum radiator w/o trans cooler.
Thanks for your help guys!
