It actually has a small block chevy. cruising rpms is usually around 2000. shifting seems to take place between 2500 and 3000 rpm.

if using the stock brake brake hoses you will need to cut the extra rubber sleeve off and correctly position the fitting at the banjo bolt on caliper. i have been running the blazer setup for 2 years now on my 81 malibu wagon and i replaced the rubber sleeve with a peice of black split loom like...

I know it it high. I am wondeeing if not only the small cooler but also my gearing. I am debating on redoing rear with a 3.73.

i am also wondering if my gearing has anything to do with it. i am running 4.10 gear in the rear. 1st to 2nd is around12-15mph send to third is around 30-35 and 4th gear no earlier then around 45 mph. it really stretches 3rd gear. not sure if that is normal. these are also at about 1/4-1/2...

I was eyeing up the B&M 70274. good for 29,000 btu's without a fan. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/bmm-70274 and then finding an correct size and cfm fan to mount on it.i think between 1000-1200 cfm should be suffecient. The Derale unit would have been sweet if it had npt inlets since i...

after driving around today another 92 degree day. temps are no better. i will defenitly be upsizing the cooler and fan.

I will second the audio control lc7i. Ipersonally just use harness adapter, dash retrofit kit and run an aftermarket stereo. the perforformance and adjustability is just so much easier.

i remounted the cooler today with inlet/outlet facing passenger side of car and put the inlet at the bottom . also redid the mounts to allow fan to be mounted on the back side to work as a puller instead of pusher. still have to to take it for a decent drive to see how it does.

at the cooler. for now. i do have an aluminum hughes pan that needs to be installed. so i plan to have a proper bung welded to it before installing.

Yes . Exactly how i will be mounting it. It will be todays project. And since it will be 91 degrees here today be a good test day once finished. Thank you for the help

I was thinking it might be a hair small. I will try turning it so that the ports face sideways towards the passenger side for the time being to see if there is any improvement till i can save up some for a larger unit . May go for the B&M 70274

I have a derale 13613 stacked plate style transcooler suppose to be good for 20500 lb gvw. Is there any effective difference with inlet/outlet orentation? Right now it is running in front of radiator, with both ports facing downeard toward the ground and have an electric fan set as a pusher on...

i used the calculator. it comes out to a 30.59 . summit has a 30t for $16 . i am going to call tci tomarrow to see if they suggest the 30t 0r 31t. thank you guys for the help.

Installed a freshly redone 2004r behind my sbc . trans was from an 87 mcss. this was suppose to go into a car with 3.73 gears. i ended up using it in a car with a 4.10 rear. what gear will i need to get my speedo cable to be calibrated correctly? where can i source it?

if you are willing to ship i would be interested. shoot me pics and a price. I am in nj but you are a 5 1/2 hour drive one way with no traffic.
