I really want to figure out what would be the easiest and most cost effective solution. Its a car thats been in my family for decades but has never been running properly. I'd like to not half *** it if this engine has had problems since the 80s/90s and has never been properly cared for. Having...

Hello. Since I've last posted I found out the 318 in the Fury 3 I received had a blown head and its pretty shot. Looking to do some research on what engines I can look at that will fit in it. It came with a 318 from the factory so I was hoping I'd have a decent amount of engines to choose from...

Thanks for the heads up. Definitely important to me as the main problem with this car is overheating as of now. And I thought they were built with 195 degree thermostats stock? Right now there is a 180 degree in there. Purchased an easy out at my local parts store, didn't work. I think I'm...

Little update: Had my father do that initial measuring when I wasn't home and he took the wrong measurement. It is 3 1/2 inches from the radiator to the center of the fan blades, with the original fan and extender still on. Also I got the thermostat housing off however the bolt is still too...

The new radiator doesn't have the extended brackets to bolt to the car so it sits more flush with the opening which is farther away from the engine fan. When I get back home I can post a few pictures but that won't be for a couple days probably, sadly.

I assumed that 1. a 6 inch spacer was not the safest and most stable option and 2. that it wouldn't be easy to find. But maybe I shouldn't assume :)

I kept the spacer and stock fan on for now and it is probably 3-4 inches ballpark. The clutch fan/clutch didn't have the proper bolts to be installed with the radiator so I left the stock fan on. And with the spacer it is still 6-7 inches from the radiator.

So I just had a chance to take a look at the setup quickly and currently the fan is about 6-7 inches away from the radiator. It wasn't working well at 3-4 inches away I can't imagine this is good. I also imagine finding a shroud that deep is not going to be easy. Any thoughts/advice?

I haven't run it with the vent off yet. It just appears that there is oil leaking from the neck of it down to the headers which causes the smoke.

Thanks for the advice and keeping an eye out. Converting to 4bbl carb doesn't really offer me much of an advantage aside from accepting more intake manifolds at this point right? I found the t-stat housing on rock auto for I think 12 bucks and was thinking of ordering it but it doesn't say if it...

Okay so update: Got the aluminum radiator mounted up. Went pretty smoothly. had to drill a couple holes, but nothing crazy. Took the thermostat housing off to find there was no thermostat installed. I'm assuming this wasn't helping anything. The upper intake manifold below where the thermostat...

Thank you for the note about the engine not begin centered. I hadn't noticed/looked yet. I will probably be interested. As I said car is not with me at the moment so can't get any measurements. I can post the measurements of the radiator I bought. Maybe that will help... · Overall...

I don't have it in front of me. However it appears to be the same as 70NPORT just posted. A champion radiator. Mine might just be slightly larger as I mentioned. Busy weekend but monday I'm having the new mounting holes drilled and then replacing the water pump, thermostat, new hoses and putting...

Yeah i ran water through the old system, didn't want to mess with the new radiator.

Okay so got home today and tried to install the new aluminum radiator. Its about 1 inch too wide. Not that big of a deal and the added cooling will be beneficial right? One side bolts up the other I'll need to drill two holes to mount it. The transmission lines in the radiator were a PITA to get...

Thank you. The radiator should be in today or tomorrow and when it is I will post pictures. But as far as I could tell it was the closest I could find to stock shape, size, orientation while being aluminum. Its through champion.

It is an aftermarket fan however designed for the car and the same orientation/shape.
