just wondering on how much of a difference these elitric fans i hear about these are from a stock fan, also in the process of building my motor real soon and was wondering just exactly how do you set it up with the non adjustable valvetrain, i kno it can be done but theres a few things you gota do i kno you dont just tighten down the rockers, and last but not least do you think ill have to get the crank turned for my top end rebuild or itll b fine, the supporting mods are edelbrock victor jr.s i beleive ford hydraulic lifters f303 cam ford 1.6 rockers. Im pretty shure i dont gota change any pushrod lenghts with this setup but was just curious on how to set this all up right on the non adjustable valve train. and was just wondering about getting the crank turned since ima have the motor out sooon, any help is appreciated thanxx alottt!

the eletric fan is much better, do away with your fan its less drag on the motor,turn your crank? if you only rebuilding your top end, why are you worried about the crank? and with a F303 cam you might wanna match it with some cobra 1.7 rockers and if your not familiar with motors let someone eles install therockers. goodluck man

nah ill be fine my dad is the master builder, hes fukt wit 9 second corvetts, and im str8 witht the 1.7 rockkers i heard you have ptv issues so im guna stay wit 1.6

Jonboy2389

also about the crank i wana turn it if it has to be turned while the motor out im not guna do my whole top end and then have to tuirn the crank, it makes sense to do it while the motor out get all my parts balanced to the crank, kno wut i mean

VASSAGO

cool im sure yur dad will no what to do, i use 1.7's and have never had a problem, but deffenitly pick up a electric fan, you can use one off a taurus or v6 mustang, and they work great, or you can spend the bucks to buy a blackmagic, but for about $50 you can get the taurus or v6 mustang fan and they work just as good, it removes your shroud and fan clutch so u get 2-3hp back from the fan.. goodluck man!

thank man appreciate advice yeh i kno u would get more horse to outta the 1.7 rockers or even changin the pushrod lengths but i was told the 1.6s work fine with out any changing of the pushrod lengths so thats what ill prob run, thanz again...

VASSAGO

np man, yea you should be fine with the 1.6 and you will still produce some serious power, what heads are you useing?

Jonboy2389

theyr edelbrock aluminum heads. im not shure exact model i wana say the victor jr.s 60cc chambers and 190 intake volume i wana say not exact shure but im gettin em off a guy for $600 with new valve job springs rockers and retainers.

anytime you change rockers and heads please use an adj. push rod to measure length to ensure proper valvetrain geometry
