Threw a rod. I will have the motor out tonight. Not sure why yet. Looked in the "window"

and the crank doesnt look like it spun a bearing where the rod is missing. Turbine wheel has some damage but looks like it will be OK to run. Just hoping the heads, lifters, etc are OK. I have another junk yard block I will try and get in the acid tub this week to clean it up.

I need to get motivated and finish the engine bay. Cold weather has been getting me down.:mad: I was having some cooling issues last year and went to a bigger radiator. Now I can use two fans and I made a nice shroud. Afco 27.5 X 16 double pass.

Just a heads up. I ran a two fan plus shroud similar to what you had done and it was still running a little hot. I ditched the shroud all together and put one fan on the outside and one on the inside. This helped tremendously as well with no t-stat

sEeing this gets me motivated to start on my car again I need to fix something that rob did wrong, like he didn't take out my heater core and didn't rip out my dash ( well I guess I could have asked him to but .....)

I would love to have a puller system but there is NO room. These fans are monsters where the one would blow last year the radiator would be cold to the touch. The radiator was a 12X23 shirroco style radiator. It was just to small and the residence time of the fluid in front of the fan was not long enough.
