Welcome from a fellow Coloradoan! :welcome:

There's no spring, just the hose. Where would I get the spring?

There are often posts about what camshaft to get. It will entirely depend on the desire as to what you want to get from the engine with the ensuing discussion of the combination. This post is not about X lift vs Y duration vs Z lobe separation. This is about what type of camshaft you might want...

What is the distance from the fan mounting flange to the radiator? Mine is 3".

Yes, my cap look almost exactly like that but no numbers.

Update: Got the rad moved and a new fan. Ran it in my driveway but haven't had a chance to take it for a spin. Fan blows (pulls) a ton of air through rad. We'll see how it does. I couldn't move the original fan because there wasn't enough room behind the rad even offset. It was just too...

That's might be possible but I've already removed the fan and remounted the rad. Unfortunately, the fan still won't fit behind the rad.

Thanks for all the replies. A couple of things have been said that I was leaning towards and a lot of other useful info. Engine is able to maintain temp while idling but it's when I run it down the road it gets hot. To address some things; The fan is set up to push, not pull and confirmed to...

Seem to have an over heating problem. Can't keep the engine below 210 when cruising around town. Heats up pretty quickly so my "cruising" is pretty limited. It's a 360 that's not stock but still pretty mild. I'd be ecstatic if it made 300 hp. There's no mechanical fan only a 16"...

Just when you maybe think that NO one is that stupid...this. :BangHead:

I'm contemplating putting a blow through supercharger on my 360LA and in the process of thinking about the details of actually making it run a question came to mind (one of several, btw). What do you use as a crankcase evacuation system? Right now my normally aspirated engine is using a...

Welcome from Colorado! :welcome:

Hello all. I've got a Denso Toyota alternator that's rated at 100 amps (might be 90). I've done a little research and I should be running 4 gauge battery cable to a 100 amp fuse then to the battery. Is this right? I somehow doubt the factory ran a 4 gauge wire. If it doesn't need to be 4...

I have an OE throttle cable that is only 18" long. I thought it came out of a Duster that had a 318. However, looking up replacement cables shows a length of ~24". Is 24" correct and if so...what did an 18" cable fit? Thanks.

Another thing to remember is that the difference between 2nd and 3rd is about 31%. If, and that's a big if, there is no slippage in the drive train then there should be a corresponding drop in RPM. At 2000 rpm the drop in rpm going from 2nd to 3rd will be ~31%, or about 620 rpm. If there is...
