Replacing Radiator - While I'm at it
I got in on the Group Purchase deal from Tom DeWitt and bought the Alum Rad & Spal fans. So, WHILE I'M AT IT, during the R&R that is, what else should I be looking at?
Plan on cleaning and painting the support, already have a new condenser for A/C, new 100 amp alternator, did new hoses last year.
What else? Anything for a little more power, underdrive pulleys, etc, any recommendations.:steering:
Thanks

If it's more power you want, the next logical step would be a bigger cam. With the radiator out of the way, and your hands already dirty, you'll be part way there anyway :). If you have any doubts about your water pump, this would be a good time to swap it also.

Since I am also adding the Dewitt radiator with dual spals, I really don't need the fan blade anymore - I'm replacing the the mechanical waterpump with an electric waterpump $$$$$. The gain in horsepower won't be huge, but I'll take every little bit I can get.
