Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 4 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 4 | I am contemplating a TBI 350 from a 1989 Chevy truck with a 700R4 transmission to my 1959. I have a 1957 with a factory V-8 under toe hood. The distributor cap is awfully close to the firewall. The problem is there only about 8 inches between the front of the block and the radiator in the '57. The '89 has about 10 inches from the front of the block to the tip of the fan clutch. My options are to lose the fan completely and move the '89 engine away from the firewall to have more room for the HEI distributor cap. I can lose the fan clutch fan and install the original fan, but the clearance is still very close. Has anyone completed a project like this yet? If I lose the fan, am I sure to overheat even if I buy an aluminum radiator? I want to stay with the serpentine system on the '89 if possible because it is complete, but I dont want to have overheating problems. | | |
