VANE, people.....water pump vanes. You have veins, not water pumps. lmao.
You created the Dual bypass by putting that Loop on the front of the motor instead of running your water line to your heater core.
Everybody that has seen that has told you to not do it but you don't want to listen to that, you seem to think you have the answer to everything. You asked for help and then you fight every bit of the help that is being offered to you.
You have been told you need to get rid of that fan several times and you still insist on how great it is and that that's not a problem. Those fans flex and they crack and they spit parts of the blades out. That's one of the reasons everybody is telling you to get rid of that fan. But you're not listening. I told you in an earlier post that you needed to clean your radiator but you fought that all the way through to. Anybody that puts a fresh motor into a vehicle should have already cleaned the radiator before starting it up.
Good luck, your the biggest problem with your engine.
That's where I am at this point. Then I'll start looking into the higher flow pump. However, from what I've read, Chrysler ran 6 VANE pumps on all non-AC cars.Expecting an old 318 rad to cool a newly built performance 360 might be overly optimistic.
May I ask what you are running for oil ?
I believe the 6 vane pump was used on a/c vehicles that also had a different ratio pulleys to keep coolant flow the same while speeding up fan speed, for cooling.
Oops you're right. I should double check pulley sizeMay I ask what you are running for oil ?

40 wtWeight ?
30* is plenty,if it's circulating.
and no, you don't have to remove the heater core. When you call for heat, the heat exchanger will drop the temp in that line 20 to 30 degrees same as the rad would. When I leave the heater in circuit, I heavily restrict the primary bypass. I shoved something in there, I don't remember what, with a big enough OD to plug the hose and stay put.And it had a smaller hole in it. The heater core becomes my bypass at the ends of the driving season. During the summer when my feet begin to get hot, I just clamp the hot hose. Up here there's no telling what the weather will be so mornings I might still need the defroster in June and again in September, so It takes about a minute to unclamp the line.
Your water pump is a pusher pump. But it's lousy at sucking water up. The only reason it works at all is because generally,lol, you keep the liquid level in the rad high enough that "gravity" keeps water at the inlet.When you put an anti-cav plate on it, it becomes a pretty good pusher.
Being I only drive during warm weather, I took my thermostat and gutted it of spring and plug and pin guide, basically making it a high volume water restrictor. I have an autozone 5 vane pump, but am running a seventeen inch 5 blade clutch fan and a modified big block truck a/c homemade hack double belt 28 percent overdrive pump/fan pulley
I'm looking for just a smaller water pump pulley. The pulley in that kit is a hair larger than the OEM one, but in conjunction with their pulley system it does the job. If I can have my machinist take a bit out of my pulley, I can essentially overdrive my water-pump without having to swap. I'd probably try a flowkooler as well before I went through all that.If I have any more trouble I will put on a flowkooler pump and CFV racing 18% overdrive serpentine drive....

Any idea where to FIND an overdrive water pump pulley? I have been looking since yesterday, don't see anything offered. Looks like OEM is just shy of 6"
Mid eighties Dodge Ram truck and van platforms with air conditioning. Late seventies and eighties police cars. All the ChryCo overdrive fan pulleys are short and need a piece of 3-1/4 inch I.d. DOM tubing ( drive shaft type tubing) or a long snout off of a standard pulley added into the center hub. I would suggest keeping an eye toward CVS site as well, being that they do make v belt pulleys as well. My lower pulley is a 400 truck engine a/c pulley with eight inch double rear a/c drive and a 7-1/2 inch front pulley. I used a 5-1/4 double groove pump/fan pulley and welded in a piece of 3-1/4 i.d. 1/16 wall DOM tube to make it long enough to run off of the eight inch drive sheaves, the front 7-1/2 inch pulley is unused.Any idea where to FIND an overdrive water pump pulley?
