It has a overheating problem
I purchased an adapter from DAVIS SPEED EQUIPMENT if you brouse the website you'll see the application and a new water pump that raises the fan up about 4 inches so it's more centered on the radiator.
I'm having problems locating a replacement fan as the new waterpump shaft is 1 inch and previous water pump was 5/8.
Has anyone else experienced this tabackle.
I'm not a machinist so please don't give me reccomendation to drill etc.
Stuck in garage forever
Jim

It comes with a 3/8" pulley.
