Danny's van is currently in the paint shop. Let me just say that body work is the most time and money consuming part of any build. Should be done at the end of this week. It probably wouldn't be much different now than it was a year ago. There will be updates soon. As far as mine goes, I might have ...

Logan: Do you run headers by any chance? I run shorty headers and they seem to put out a lot of heat, they are even wraped. My van is lowered, I mightnot get as much wind threw comparied to a stock ride hight van(asuming your's is stock ride hight.) My SB should have more power than a stock 350, thi...

I think I am going to weld on aluminum wings on both sides of the radiator to utilalize the factory mounts. I may or not have the sufficent aluminum TIG welding skills at this point with my lincoln at home, I shal practice quite a bit first so I dont waist a new rad. [-X . Will for sure post pics if...

Thanks a lot man. I still have the clutch fan and clutch from the 3500 express van that I took the engine out. If I put that on, do you think that I will notice a differance? Or do you think that I have a lack of cooling compacity issue? Lots of good info.

Hi all. Im sure some of you are familure with my 383 vortec stroker swap I performed last year. now that it is summer and it is hot, I am running into a cooling issue. 90 degree day or hoter going down the freeway, coolant temp is right around 180-200. As soon as I stop during a trafic jam or whatev...

Hi everyone, long time no post. Me and danny went to the strip last night over here at national trails. we all test and tuned for a while.

I just have a quick question. The vortec 350(aka L31) has vortec heads on it obviously. Does the LT1 350 have the same vortec heads? Is the intake bolt pattern on a LT1 the same as the bolt pattern on a L31 vortec 350? Thanks

Google Summit or Jegs or TCI or Russel Fittings online catalogues.

SoCal, I am under the impression that you have a sender in both the input and output of your tranny lines. Do you have picture of you set up?
