Overheating issue with March Performance pulleys

In the last build the heads were completely rebuilt, new valves & guides at Indy Cylinder Head. New Comp solid lift cam and new Push rods made to exact lenght needed

I should have put a new water pump on the last build, but I don't want to change anything that would require opening the engine. It was painted together and don't want to chip the paint unless I have too. So I chose to change the pulley.

The new pulley came today and it looks like a mini pulley compared to the one on it now, it should speed it up.

Yeah the AC water pump actually has 6 vanes and the standard has 8, smaller WP pulley to increase air flow and keep the water flow the same.

I should have put a stock fan on, but I was building this to run good and LOOK GOOD, well so far i have one of them.

As far as race gas, don't like the idea, but I don't drive it that much and once it is tuned correctly then timing can be backed up some if needed. I told them I wanted it to run on Pump Gas it was to be 9.9:1 after the last rebuild and better checking 10.3:1

IF I don't get it to run as I think it should it will get pulled and put on engine stand and something else will go in.
