Re: Prepping for a BBC conversion
Do you happen to have a part # on the fans you ended up going with? I looked through the thread and couldn't find it. Do you remember how many cfm they were?

Re: Prepping for a BBC conversion
Let me see if I am seeing this correctly. The front water hole on the intake manifold is where you put the temp sending unit, you ran heater hoses from one of the top intake outlets, blocked off the other top intake hole, ran the 2nd heater hose from the radiator, blocked off the two holes on top of the water pump. Is this correct?
I'm building an '82 shortbed with a big block, and using the same intake you have, and want to get it right... Scott Quote:

That's correct. There may have been a better way but I haven't played with the options. This one works though. Kenny |

Re: Prepping for a BBC conversion
Where does your oil pressure sending unit go? I thought I knew where it went, on the drivers side of the block at the front just behind the power steering pump. But the threads are nowhere near the same. Is there some kind of adapter I need?

Re: Prepping for a BBC conversion
There are two holes, different size. Autometer sends adapters to use either hole

Re: Prepping for a BBC conversion
I have another one for you. I didn't see much info about your transmission. I am assuming it is a TH400?
When going from a TH350 to a TH 400 did moving the trans crossmember to the rear mounting location accomidate the longer trans? I went ahead and moved mine it hopes that the trans would line up. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: Prepping for a BBC conversion
I really can't remember but it seems like we had to modify it a bit. I'm also thinking we used the x-member out of the '76 donor truck as well.
Next time, I'm under it, I'll look and see if it's the original one or not and what changes we made to it if any. Ken |
Re: Prepping for a BBC conversion
I also got my flex-a-lite electric fans working good today after relocating the sending unit to the front of the intake and blocking off the hose to the water pump.
http://www.a2zcs.com/files/1108.jpg Did you do any other changes when you blocked off the by-pass hose? I've heard if you block it off the water won't circulate right & could run a little hot. Great work by the way!!!! |

Re: Prepping for a BBC conversion
No, I don't. I've looked around but can't find it. I had it documented somewhere though.

Re: Prepping for a BBC conversion
Yesterday, the 87Lowrider was sold to a dealer in S. Indiana. I picked up an '05 Silverado Stepside 4x4 as it's replacement. Thanks for all the help from everyone here in getting it to where it was.
