yea, reg heads that are not setup for the 400 need to have the steam holes opened up, also, new thermostat, good but specialy on the 400's, add a 1/8" drill hole on the outter rim of the thermostat, for air bubbles to easier pass + also add's a teeny bit more flow, my old cheyenne with a 400 i did 2 1/8 holes but my heads was original for the 400. also probably going to get some hate but not sure what temp that stat is, but if its a 195, try to find a 180. never had an issue with mine even in 112F temps outside.

Thanks, appreciate u watching

Thanks

I’m editing one right now, took it to get the exhaust done

Haha, yea pretty much

Yea it looks kinda empty with just electric fans so imma do the clutch fan with shroud setup

I took off my electric fans and put a mechanical clutch fan, also with the stock pulley it seemed to help it stay cool, now all I need is to install a fan shroud and it should be good to go

Yea it was stressful because everyone trip to the parts store took like 45min and I wanted to get it done that day

That’s my next set up thanks for the info

I stay in woodland, ca about 40min from Stockton

@@cali530marcos3 what's up g

It was a non hugger header, I think the brand was headman, there’s another video were I got the exhaust done finally

Yes, I bought a new wiring kit from American autowire like 6months ago, im just waiting to install my exhaust system and also I want to paint the inside of the car

Really, well I guess it makes sense since that’s where the exhaust gas’s comes out of, there’s a port on my edelbrock manifold that’s next to the housing, I’m going to try that one

Yes the heads haven the steam holes drilled, I was thinking maybe the under drive pulley was spinning the water pump too fast, I’ve been thinking of going with a fan and clutch assembly with a fan shroud to see if it stays cooler

Oh- sorry, just saw this

That aluminum billet pulley spins the water pump slower, not faster.

Doesn’t really overheat anymore, but I think a clutch fan and fan shroud should really help it out and keep it cooler

The edelbrock manifold I installed didn’t have that option since it’s a high rise intake, but I’ve been driving it and it seem to be fixed

You are correct.

I have it on ported vacuum, replacing the lower pulley and adding a fan clutch fixed my issue

It’s a high volume low pressure pump I got at summit racing,

No, they are center bolt valve covers so I’m guessing tbi, they probably just drilled the steam holes out

It’s a 400 small block Chevy bored .30 over so now it’s a 406

Love the 400 sbc.Biggest motor.

Yea, going to be putting a clutch fan on there and adding a fan shroud

@@cali530marcos3 lots of guy throw the Kowloon away,but it helps to cool the engine by at least 15 degrees,and thats alot considering the combustion temperatures

but then again when are we really satisfied with something, there is always something

It’s a manual choke but it’s not hooked up, and for the small crank pulley I thought the same thing, I thought it would cool better but it was running hot, then when I swapped out to a larger one it cooled it down like 10-15 degrees. I was thinking about switching the alternator to the other side too because it looks too empty on the passenger side like it’s missing something

@@cali530marcos3 well dang. My setup is basically identical as what your doing. I havnt started the engine yet but I have a small crank pulley also. So ill have to watch my Temps to check that.. All my stuff is on the driver side also. It is alot but I figured with the space on pass side I can mount some AC someday and even out the look

Bigger crank pulley spins the pump FASTER.
