My friend has a Big single fan out in his barn off a 86 that he might part with. He goes by Redroc wrench in the MI/Canada great lakes section.Look him up. Tell him I sent ya.

Oh I don't have a thermo control.... it comes on with the ignition Key! And the brackets were hand made on the top.... bent steel and bolts.... looks good though.

works even better.

i got the fans for 40.00!!!

I have not yet... But get the mezeire pumps...they last longer. I have a Victor Jr Pump Now...Best investment... I got it like 5 years ago. Stays cool and has not broke yet!

But I will be upgrading to a E-pump in the future...

Are you still running the 305? If so You need to be careful with the 2.02 valves..... 305 have the smaller piston and you will shroud the valve and/or have clearance problems? Depends on camshaft.....

just a thought

The power from the heads you gain will have alot of factors... Tough to say... But you should gain 10rwhp or 15-20 with E-fan and E-water pump.

YOU need to take the head to the machine shop have them CCed find out what the chamber size is...that will effect clearance and Compression of the engine.... for example a stock 350 with 58cc head will be about 10.5 - 11 to 1 compression ratio. Need good ignition to run pump gas!

maybe pocket port the heads...check valve seats...mag flux for cracks...clean up and slap them on....

If it is a old style performance head...it will be a 64cc chamber...at worst a 72cc if it is anything higher....I would look for other heads....unless you have custom pop-up pistons?
