I ordered a CVR 8000cl 55 gpm water pump in November and the delivery date was March 15 2024 now it says April.  I was looking at the small block pump 8560cl which is also 55 gpm and its 27 dollars more than the bare pump and it is in stock. Are all the pump and motors the same? Someone on here must have a small block. I could unbolt the stock brackets and bolt on Jays Brackets

I bought two Spal fans which have connectors on the end. I've been looking for them and can only find them with 8 feet of wire for 49 bucks each I need two. The part number is SBL-YAC-PT which comes with 8 feet of wire for 48 bucks each. I believe it's a 40-amp plug. I'm tempted to just cut it off and move on but it would be nice to be able to unplug them.

I have been using a bit of oil this year mild driving not beating it too hard. I have a TKO600 so I'm not revving past 2500 cruising. The motor does run hot 200 210deg I have to admit, and I will be addressing that very soon. I've discussed the radiators and fans with Jay and Stangman. I hope its the intake gaskets the car runs good has a .700 lift roller cam about 620 hp flywheel. I noticed blue smoke during high vacuum conditions and the plugs look fine last time I changed them. Tailpipes are wet and oily which concerns me. My question is when I pull it apart what's the best intake gaskets for Barrys Proport heads? I bought some red rubber gaskets from Barry Yrs. ago but they are no longer available.

Hi guys I have a 69 Mustang FB with a 630 flywheel HP 428 .040 over, Edelbrock heads, .700 solid, roller, Scat forged crank, aluminum flywheel, Hooker 1 3/4 coated headers, 3" Magnaflow exhaust, Edelbrock aluminum water pump, Edwlbrock Victor, Champion 4 row radiator, Focus electric fans. I have a 160 stat, The car stays at 180 idleing all day if the temp is above 80 degrees outside. As soon as the motor goes above 2000 rpm the temp rises as high as 210 going 70 mph in overdrive. Let it idle and it eventually cools off. I realize Champion is not the best radiator but it gets rid of the heat when the engine is turning slow. The Focus fans aren't the the best either but at 70 mph in overdrive turning 2200 should be enough air without fans. I put in an 180 stat figuring the water doesn't have enough time to cool off but didn't help. No thermostat the same thing. The only thing I can figure is with the big cam and lots of overlap doesn't make horsepower till 2000 rpm. I even bought one of those aluminum pieces that covers the top of the grill to force air thru the radiator. I would buy a 1100 dollar Griffen if I knew it would solve the problem. Suggestions please.

Has anyone heard from Doug Smith- CJ shaker? He was going to buy some valve covers and haven't heard from him. Hopefully he is just busy with life.

I have a 428 stroked to 464 solid roller, duration at .050  266.00 intake, 272.00 ex. .690, .700 110.0 center line 110 lobe separation. 850 Holly hp 80 jets pri 88 sec, 10.5:1 compression, Hooker 1 3/4, 3" exhaust. Timing 35 locked. Victor intake ported to Barrys cnc ported heads. Idles about 1200 at 13.5afr cruises between 2000 and 3000 at 11:1 afr.  in fourth gear from 3000 to 6500 foot to the floor it ranges 13.5:1 to 14.2 at 6500. Seems pretty good except 2-3000 is very fat. Should I just go down on the primary 2 sizes or am I over looking something?

Does anyone make custom headers for a 69 mustang out of stainless? I would like at least a 2" header. Right now I have Hooker 6114 that are Swain Tech coated. I think I am leaving power on the table with 1 3/4 headers. Ground clearance is a consideration. My 464 is making about 625 flywheel hp.

Hi guys looking for recommendations for a solid roller camshaft for my 464. Engine builder recommends Lunati solid bushed roller lifters he says they seem to survive well on the street. Engine specs are 10.5 compression CP pistons,4.25 forged scat crank, scat rods, Erson rockers, Barry R stage X heads flows 330 intake, MSD dist fixed advance, Edel Victor port matched, Hooker 1 3/4 , 3" exhaust. Holly 850, TKO-600, aluminum flywheel, 411 gears car weighs 3500 without my fat butt.
