Thanks for the link!!!!!

I am here to help...

From my research HP 440's with AC used the 26" radiator, used the 2863216 clutch fan. Also used a 1.4 ratio waterpump/fan pulley. I believe this is more for fan speed than coolant movement. For the extra resistance of the condenser. I think said pulley is about 5.375 in diameter. That's why I went with the standard water pump impellor. Just theory on my part on the impellor.

BTW I'm having my friend with the plasma table make me 2 sets of the 26-22 brackets for the Griffin radiator. Once I get them confirmed to fit you want the second set?

 

[69 GTX]

If nothing else it'd give you a starting point.

Yes Please.

Ok will do, just remind me if I forget.

The A/C serpentine pulley system looks great. You'll love the A/C. Making these cars comfortable makes them that much more fun to drive. With all the power you're making, you'll always be looking for an excuse to drive it!

I agree, with AC & OD, it'd be easy to rack up some miles on these rides.

I am reliving a trip I did in 81 at 16 in my Charger. Pasadena to San Francisco for a weekend.. lots of gas and sweat that weekend..

 

[69 GTX]

0ppps sorry

 

[69 GTX]

I remember when I quit driving my RR and bought my 84 Ram 4x4 and my gas mileage doubled!

 

[Derwud]

I am reliving my trip, because I have 3 generations in a truck heading to Eugene Oregon. My Dad, My Daughter and I...

 

[69 GTX]

Very cool!

600 HP and a 5 spd. It don't get much better than that!
Speaking of cruising comfort, I suggest looking at upgrading to aftermarket 3 pt seat belts. Lots of companies make 'em; I got mine from XV Engineering; nice units, easy to install.

 

[Derwud]

Yes, the XV's are on my list..

 

[69 GTX]

I thought someone said they were no more.....

 

[Derwud]

XV the old company is gone... One of the guys, Chris I believe is making and selling some parts still for our cars..
