Made a shroud for the new electric fans. This should finally keep things cool! Bent up some new trans cooling lines and the fuel line from teh pump to the carb.

Also added a "lift kit" to the carb. HAHA

Pulled the 350 to ship off for repairs. Getting cam and valvetrain gone over / replaced. Fely good to be wrenching on the ol gal. Now I have to see what all I will need to fix or replace while the engines out.

You should open a new thread in the electrical section for this. Have you tested the voltage output of your charging system both at an idle and at driving speed?

100% won't be the starter causing charging system problems, it would have to run with the engine and you would know that.
