Re: k10 big block cooling problems

The only thing I did different from the articles on chevelles.com is a different fan. The fan I went with was a reproduction part #3976064 ("064") 70 LS6 fan. This fan will pull more air at low speed than the "772" fan. Now I don't have any low speed overheating.

Hope this helps,
Steve
