Engine build on the brain

Buy a radiator that fits your car. I'd look at Cold Case. They are a sponsor here on FABO. You want the biggest 2 core radiator, with the cores as big as you can get.

Over drive the water pump. Use a Stewart Components thermostat and a Milodon high flow or Flowkooler water pump.

Yes yes yes ! This is the only way to get those temps to stay down. Especially on the rad. It'll cost a few $$.

This is good stuff. Tnx YR

Nm9 68 is what I got from the head guy. The heads were surfaced and work done to the bowls. I can't guarantee they are all equal
Thanks for running the numbers. I'll remember to post the inputs along with what I'm getting. I was using 0.00 deck height because I didn't what it would be or how to figure it.

Very good abjim. I figured we were just off on some of the detailed inputs.... your numbers were just coming in too close for you to be making any fundamental errors with the calculators. And the 68 cc number sounds like it is a good solid number to work with.

LOL. Interpretation included above.
I am pretty sure abjim is using stock length rods (6.123"). Please confirm that is the case, abjim.
