I drive a 83 460. Just wondering what you think poor mileage is.

I'm getting 12-13. I'm sure that is better than a 460.

She over heated today. Finally made it too work. I changed the thermostat and every thing seems fine. Before the temp gauge never got above 160. Now it climbs to 210 and cycles from 200-210. I've got a lot more heat now. The thermostats were both 195's.

The guy I bought it from put an electrical fan assy on it and I really don't like it. I'm wanting to put it back original. My question is which clutch do I use for the fan? I gave GM my VIN and they said I have 2 choices. I don't have the old one to compare to. The one on the right is bigger around, but shorter. The one on the left is opposite. Does it really matter? It's a 350 TBI automatic 4X4. Here are some pics to look at. I know the electrical fan might save some gas, but I want this mess gone. Dependablity concerns me.

One other question. Isthefan blade on the right the correct one for my truck? The one on the left is for something else. The hub pattern will not bolt up tothe clutch.

I'm also ready to replace the tie rods, idler arm and pitman arm. I think they are original and it has 215K on it. They have lots of play.

Alan do you mind measuring your fender heights for me? Just to the bottom of the stainless trim in the middle of the fender? Also those are 285/75/16 tires correct?

Thanks a bunch in advance

I don't mind at all. I'll try my best to get it tomorrow. The guy I got it from raise the front up some with the torsion bars and put 2" blocks in the rear. I'll confirm all this.

Here ya go measured from the bottom of the chrome trim. 6"/front and 8"rear. I mentioned before about the suspension lift. There are 2" blocks in the rear and torsion bars are twisted up in the front.
