I used an Excel spreadsheet to capture the dimensions of an A-Body engine compartment. Each square is 1/2". The WP is from a '68 so is the shorter iron pump. Add 3/4" for a modern aluminum WP. I have seen radiators that do not mount flush with the core support thus taking up the space that...

It might be surprising, but thermostats are controlled by a small pellet of wax trapped between a piston and cylinder. The opening point of the thermostat is the melting point of the wax. The thermostat design takes advantage of the change in volume of the wax going from a solid to a liquid...

One other consideration is altitude. I live at 5800 feet and air density is 20-25% lower than at sea level. Thiis reduces the mass of air that flows through the radiator for any given CFM rating meaing that you need 25% more air flow to get the same heat removed. Luckily engines make less...

I had a 7 blade fan on my 340 when I took it to the chassis dyno shop. During the power pull, the water pump snout broke off! Fan blade imbalance! These things are heavy!I would purchase a new MP 5 blade clutch fan package. It should cool fine for all engines with a good radiator. I put on...

The Shelby Speed Secrets book shows taping into the existing inlet and outlet ports for the oil filter. Must be done with the block out. But this is the best way to connect an In-Line cooler. Would also require remote oil filter(s), which is not a bad idea either. I would also run an...
