I see with the alternator, you are using a long water pump.....A shorter water pump is available, but your alternator goes to the other side and your fancy pulleys would be the wrong ones. I would go with a flex fan and a shroud


 ..........I have this on a 66 Impala 427 and a 63 Belair 409 and no cooling problems with either car......in fact had to

put 180 thermostat in the 427 to get some heat.......the 409 also runs cool and those motors 11:1 always run hot but this

flex fan and the correct shrouding will cure your ills.......and they run very quiet

 I think I have one of those somewhere...will dig it out. Presently have a dual thermo fitted from a local produced passenger car with front fancy bit removed from pulley. Still close but shall see what you all think when fitted before full install.

Go to Billet Specialites website, tru track systems, then get the tech and spec info, they give you all the measurements of what their stuff will do, long or short water pump etc.
