Thanks. ANY GM V8 will be good from the 1990's? If correct then the race units we keep around for the Small Block Modified should work.
Taking it for a LONG run today to see how it does.
Thanks you
George P.

 

Not any GM, as some are bypass versions (two disks), but match up size and you should be good to go.

 

Did not do well IN TOWN on main roads 55 to 60 201-205 in town after 30 mile run 214 to 221 then dropped to 219. SO We are putting in a NEW cooling system, Radiator, 180 stat, hoses, water pump. Not playing with this one at all.

 

Mr. George, that is a brass radiator, pretty pricey, might want to see if your local rad shop can flush and rod it out. $70 flush & rod vs $600....

 

Mr. George,

Also, since you just changed cooling fans, and things seem worse, try this one:

Switch on truck, but don't crank. Turn on AC and interior fan. That should make electric fans start up at the condenser. Hold plastic bag at the grille. If it blows forward, away from grille, fan wires polarity is reversed, and they are subtracting cooling, instead of adding to it. When you crank truck, bag should still be sucked toward grille, unless main fan is mounted reversed. It can happen.

 

Will test that Tuesday. After what I spent on the P38 this one is to good to chance. Are there any parts house around you that have this stuff? I am heading down to Jacksonville to check damage on the house so will be passing there this week. There is a Radiator rebuild shop in Jax I will look up also.
Thanks for the help. About got my shop that I was never going to use again restocked and open just to work on these. Also get that 1971 "E" type on the road.

 

No parts houses near me that have anything different from Augusta. Junk yards near me just have D2s at the moment.

 

Th==ank you. will do some shopping in Jacksonville this week.

 

If travelling Tuesday, the remainder of the tropical storm has shifted from Jax and is headed up thru Savannah and into SC, so you'll have a soggy trip.

 

More like Thursday or Friday want to take the Corvette for a run.
