Blueprint 408 cooling system questions.

Hayden offers shorter clutch’s. There are a few that the big block guys use. IIRC, *I Think* Jaguar came up in the thread I’m thinking of. Do a search here.

No shroud? Get one:thumbsup: That will help a lot.
What are you doing for coolant?
Get another gauge to check against what you have in the car now. I have two Autometer gauges reading a 20* difference on the same engine/car.
