I was kind of wanting to wait on my intro when I could post some pics of my project. I am going to do a 6.0 Iron Block/4L60 transmission to my 64 Vette.

I have been gathering parts so I can hit the ground running, 2 questions for now

1- How many are running a factory radiator that is not LS specific, my plan (since the vette is space challenged) is to buy a new Radiator and a Flex lite or something similar Black magic fan pushing 3000 to 3300 CFM.

2- Fuel pump will be a Walbro 255 inline pump, the car has side pipes, so noise is not really a factor, I realize the in tank pumps use the fuel to help cool, but I think many have used in line's without a issue.

This is a daily driver, not a garage queen and see's about 125 miles a day, rain or shine, (Thankfully no snow) although after the winter this past year, we did get sleet.

If anybody has other suggestions, I'm all ears, be doing plenty of reading and research.

Thanks for the time,
