Cooling Issue

800 in gear!?
Q1)What cam are you running then? That's a lotta Rs for a typical 270 ish cam. No matter, it's not too slow.
Q2)How about the TC; what kindof stall?
Q3)How hard is the tranny pulling at 800?

1) I'm still tinkering with the tune. Right now, it idles at 800 in N and drops to 750 in gear. The cam is a single pattern [email protected]", .560" 108ICL in at 104.
2) It's a 9.5" Dynamic converter. It stalls around 3500
3) Not much (if at all).


Your crank pulley should be larger than the water pump / fan pulley. If it's not that could be some of Your problem. -- A lot of little things can add up to create a cooling problem. -- Many of the items have been mentioned.

I was thinking about this today. If I bring the revs up to 1200 or so, I can watch the temp come down very quickly. I bet a smaller puller would do the trick. I haven't measured them, but I will next time I mess with it. Where can I get a smaller diameter pulley?
