    Oldschool, I was looking at the Be Cool radiator with dual fans price from Summit was about $1400 - is that correct?  I will be upgrading to a new driveshaft - are you happy with the aluminum price is reasonable that I saw.  I was also interested in the strange 60 not sure about the gears tho and I would love to have a gear vendors overdrive but I am SOOOO way over budget.

    Cuda--the Be-Cool price looks in the ballpark.  It keeps my sled at 190* or cooler at all times.  If it was a REAL hot day, I would pour a little octane booster in it just to make sure.  But it never has gotten over 190*  I ran Strange equipment in my '65 990 Hemi SS car for 3 seasons and never even pulled the rear cover off after initial build-up.  It's strong stuff. But I also understand budgets......my wife is standing next to me, so I won't go there now...   :roflsmiley:    :cooldancing:   .............Oldschool

    Thanx for the info, engine install should take place in March - I am trying to finalize those crucial parts to purchase to have ready on install ie. radiator, drive shaft, rear end, motor mounts

    I need your suggestion on the motor mounts and any other accessories for the engine swap from 340 to HEMI

    hmmm... been wondering, is it cheaper to build your own as compared to buying a crate motor?  can I ask how much it cost to build that?  I thought it might be better with more hps if I pick what parts I want and just have it put togeather... please let me know what you think, thanks

    the Crate is always a compromise , you tend to get the parts they want & may have to replace a few to get what you want + the crate has ben problematic & need to be torn down & checked so I would definatly build one over buying a crate

    I can say amen to that statement with a crate 360 380hp engine purchased in 1998.
