Ok so some may know my car is garbage, breaks all the time and I just blew the headgaskets again.
Im parking the car and saving to build a new motor, finish the rear end in my garage and conquer the cooling problems BIG TIME all before I attempt to start it again.

Iv got a 350 bored .40 over now, 4 bolt mains.

Either I can use this setup or just pull it replace the headgasket and keep it as a spare and start from the ground up.

Im thinking 350 4 bolt main again .40 over.

This trick flow top end kit.

This Scat rotating assembly kit

Thinking of this dart intake

Holly 800 double pumper

Holly 170 gph fuel pump

I was thinking of using the same headers I have now, adding the new y pipe and connecting it without a cat to the hooker aero chamber catback I just got not to long ago.

For the rear I need to rebuild it with a 373 thick gear, weld the axles, fill it with synthetic fluids, throw a t/a girdle on it and it needs brakes, probally going with stock lt1 or maybe ls1 breaks with the correct proportioning valve.

Now as for cooling goes.

I will be getting a Griffin Aluminum Radiator,Flex lite 16" flex fan and spacer, electric fan setup out of a Lincoln mark VIII, fan shroud for the mechanical fan, and an air dam.

This will be a on going project for the next few months, so any suggestions, comments, concerns and advice would be great.
