    Overheating problem..Weird..help

    I went through all these recommendations as well. I replaced the fan clutch, no luck. Then I let it run with the cap off for about 30 minutes and the coolant level dropped about 2 inches which led me to believe that there was an air pocket in the system. Put the cap on and run it. Car run...

    Overheating and don't know why

    Well I think I figured it out. There was an air bubble in the cooling system. I let it run for about 30 minutes with the cap off in the driveway and noticed the fluid level went down. Topped it off with water, put the cap on and gave it hell. No boiling over but the factory gauge runs on the...

    Overheating and don't know why

    for those who can't decide 3.55 vs 3.73

    You want to talk about bad gearing. Try doing 3.08s with a (.50) 6 speed! I think that 4.10s is in my near future of not 4.30s. Any advice???

    440hp 331 Stroker for $7800??? Need advice!!!

    I just dropped about $6500 into a 331 as well, but mine is internally balanced and I built it myself minus the machine work. Have yet to get it on the dyno, but we are estimating around 450-470

    You are correct the main journals are not the same between the 302 and 351.

    Junkyard motors

    I had a similar problem with blowing the dipstick out at high rpms. Found later that the intake gaskets were not the right ones. Replaced them and she run fine.

    GT40 worth the extra money?

    The New edelbrock will outflow the cobra/GT40 setup. They are a nice piece for the money.
