Put a 180° thermostat in it. It’ll never come off of 180, even at 60 over. You’re not keeping the coolant in the radiator long enough. If it doesn’t have a fan shroud, get one from LMC, and even at a stop light, it’ll cool awesome.

@erincherry3870 Ай бұрын

Absolutely. Clean block, 180 Therm, and a Fan Shroud and FEs will run cool all day. I live in the desert and regularly see 105+ temps even in traffic and I have never had an overheating issue. They cool extremely well if ran correctly.

If you were to go the Godzilla route there’s literally no reason to shove a “built” one in there. The truck is old as shit and the Godzilla makes 430/475 stock and that’s plenty for the truck. Even if you wanted to up those numbers a little bit, you wouldn’t have to do anything considered drastic that would impact MPG’s.

As everyone said while your there put a tow/ rv cam, long tube headers, etc. Basically maximize the power if a stock setup. But also a big difference would be the transmission. Ditch the 4spd and id swap in a zf 5 or 6. Better ratios for towing and overdrive for hwy cruising. To help a bit on mpg. Also if i where to change engines for diesel. Id do either a 12/24 valve cummins or 1995 /96 power stroke both with zf6. Also you can run an exhaust brake with the Cummins. For gas id do a Godzilla WITH the 10spd. Donor swap from a wrecked truck. Ie. Engine, trans, rear end. You'll have plenty of power and those trucks are getting around 15mpg empty and can tow way over 10,000lbs

Im looking to do a clean up and power up of the old motor to put in the second truck. What would you do to make a RELIABLE good powered factory computer 460? Banks headers? a bigger bbk throttle body, injector changes, cam? What works, but like stock reliability? Not looking big power maybe just 375hp but still efficient?

Banks no longer makes headers for the 460. Stinger Performance makes an aftermarket ecu that uses the factory wiring and even uses a factory ecu shell. It swaps in place of the original. There's a guy on KZfaq named John Virgil (something like that) and he has videos with a turbo 460 using one.

@MattsRageFitGarage Ай бұрын

Most of the factory valve seats were induction hardened. I've witnessed 3 sets of FE cylinder heads go a long time without any valves sinking or even a valve job. 1 set of C4AE-6090G 64 352, 258,000 miles the valve seats still were OK to use with a regrind, no valve recession at all. C8AE heads 68 390, 220,000 miles no valve recession either. Another set of C4AE-6090-G 158,000 miles heads could have been just fine with a quick regrind and a new set of stainless steel valves but I got a better deal on a different set of heads so those were given away since the exhaust flanges were pretty crappy. My grandparents had multiple FE cars and trucks in the 60's and 70's and drove the crap out of them and none of them ever had any sinking valve issues either.
