My 14" fan only pulls 11.5.....But I paid about 3x what you did for it..... Zirgo Ultra High Performance Electric Fans 129290
Awesome guys. Thanks for the responses. Looks like -8AN will do just fine. Other than headers, this engine is bone stock.
Ok, So I need to remote mount my oil filter on my '98 4.3 Vortec due to header clearance issues. Both the mount on the block and the remote mount...
That's the information I ma looking for. I already swapped one straight boot for a 90* and that helped...
probably a mixture of both. But I do know I put a droplight under the hood and turn off the lights in the garage, it looks like the Milky Way...
Wish I could. But with the 4.3 Vortec, there was no way on this earth the stock manifolds would work. I tried many options, and went through a...
I will look into it. That's pretty much what I was looking for. Is this what you were talking about??...
Exactly. But I don't know if the headers will be hotter than that or not, and I dont have any other vehicles with headers on them I can fire up...
Is anyone aware of a product that can be used to seal body holes? Maybe a seam sealer? I have so many extra holes in my firewall (ranging from...
Slowly, but surely, my build is coming along. I sound like a broken record, I know, but when you put a modern, fuel injected V6 into a '42 MB,...
Gotta get out and drive it more!!:D But yes, the Marine Additive has worked well for me on long term/little used engines like my 3 wheelers...
By all means sir. If my headaches and multiple attempts can save some heartache, then this thread has served it's purpose. Even though I am not...
Thank you everyone for all the input. I ended up building a shroud. Rather than take up bandwith here, I just updated my build thread. Vortec V6...
Holy hell this thing moves some air. Put a 8"X11" piece of heavy cardboard on the front of the radiator and the fan held it like it was glued. I...
On to the fan.... I decided on the Zirgo 14" 2750 CFM from summit. It was heavy, weighing in at almost 5 lbs. I've never been a fan of zip-tie...
Spent a few days routing the engine/computer wiring and also tackled the full chassis wiring harness. Almost everything is now wired. wires are...
Wow! It's been a month since I updated this thread. Progress has been slow, but at least it's moving forward. Got the battery bolted in under the...
Sure would make things easier, but there isn't a lot of room under the hood of an MB. As I sit now, the radiator is only 1/2" behind the grill and...
The ECM is GM service number 16244210. It is the recommended one for use with the Painless Performance stand alone wiring harness I am using. I...
I'm swapping a 4.3 FI Vortec into my 42. The motor is stock, as is the alternator. I figure if it can run everything in the 99 S-10 it came out...
