Thanks James!
Got the radiator, hoses, and short water pump installed tonight. Didn't get the pulleys done as I don't have my 1 wire alternator yet. Need to stop after work tomorrow and pick that up so I can build the brackets and figure out pulleys. But with water in the engine I was able to run it for around 10 minutes and even with no fan or circulation the little 327 never got over 150 degrees. From what I can see I think the stock radiator with a 2700 cfm fan and the pump turning will easily cool the little smallbock.

 

I have a fan around that size with a aluminum rad. I had to install restrictors on the nova because it wouldn't come off 140 unless I was racing.

 

The fan wont come on unless it reaches 170, so I may not have it kick in too often. Got my rear bumper brackets welded up tonight and got the pushbar bumper bolted on, but not wired yet. The harness I made is routed to the trunk and tested, so I just need to splice it in to get things working.
There's a racing swap meet down south on Sat., so I hope to find a few items on my wish list!

 

I wish we had more swap meets. There are only about 2 good ones a year and they always come right after I spent my cash.

 

be glad for those man we got no good one's here lol I miss the swap meets and junkyards of oklahoma

 

Purchased the A/C clutch for 1/2 price off some company on ebay today. We'll see how that turns out. Also purchased a gas pedal because mine was broken in the past, I could tell because it was being held on by a home-made latch.

 

I sat in my Camaro today while it was parked in the garage, and pretended I was driving it.

 

Why? Its not bad out yet. I did the exact opposite. Drove it around all day running random errands which included buying a new laptop cuz this desktop is givin me sh**!

 

Haha, I was just being stupid. I used to do that back in the day in my dad's Camaro. I drove mine all over today and washed it too. Nothing looks better than a clean, shiny, black Camaro in the sunset.

 

Ya my GTP was black. I agree, out of all the colors that most cars can be bought in, black is probably my #1 color. That explains why its such a bi*** to keep clean. But out of all the colors out there for all cars, I really like Charcoal/Dark Greys on a lot of cars (not camaros) and I like a few blues too.
