we shall see - new parts are coming in today
Derale 17' fan, Hayden 2765 clutch
Milodon Hi Flow pump, Milodon Ho flow thermo
Summit Universal shroud
plans are to remove the electric fans and start swapping things out, keeping my fingers crossed.
Also will re-check timing - i think my initial is way off !

well made some progress ,maybe - parts came in but i failed to realize when i ordered the derale fan that there is a different fan for manual vs clutch type - i ordered the manual so the hayden 2765 will not bolt up to it. we got the new pump, thermo etc installed and test fitted the "manual fan" the 17" derale fan is really nice.. right now with the fan mounted on the snub of the pump i have about 2.5" clearance from tip of fan to the core of the radiator. will test it tomorrow, bought a summit univeral shroud but i'm thinking it wont work, may have to make a custom one.
