Here's a picture of my engine bay, where is yours?

I am adding a pair of 12" pusher fans to the radiator. I am hoping that settles the cooling issues down.
So far I have had to replace a brand new high flow thermostat that failed. I added a stocker then drilled three small holes in the top of it.
The stock fan clutch was NFG. I also had a rad cap that held no pressure.
Lots of fun

All the same things here (t-stats, clutch fan, water wetter coolant etc.) I bought fans (pull) but never installed. I am trying to keep the stock look. What type of over heating are you dealing with? The only time I have issues are on very hot days (live in Phoenix) in traffic, never had it boil over but have had temps in excess of 220 - 230. It will sit and idle for hours and will run down the freeway at about 180. My tech says a pusher would work for me as well. Good luck with yours. I'd be curious to see how it turns out. Your project looks really nice, I checked out your videos. How far are you from completion?
Having to haul the engine out and rebuild it, has killed the paint budget and more :P
I am not holding hard and fast to deadlines but I am hoping to have all the mechanical issues, drivetrain, cooling, tune up etc all completed before the springtime.
maybe by spring I'll have saved enough money up for final paint.
Keeping my fingers crossed - there's not very much of the original car left.
