you might gain a few, but i would prefer electric fans over an engine fan.

5hp at most I'd suppose. Still worth every penny IMO.

its hard to tell, it really depends on how much u are making. As your gonna free up alot more high end HP probably with both the electric pump and fan, but not quite as much at lower rpms... However it would be cool if someone where to do a dyno before and after. (hint hint)

Please do some 1/4 mile before and after tests with no other mods. Probably a minimum of 3 runs each. The mech fan becomes more efficient the faster you go.

I voted for stall. Higher stall converters are always a good thing.

hey thats not necessary! i live by the water i will use them as boat anchors. i can get some heads for free from a mid 80s 305 (i still need to get their casting number), but i dont really want to deal with the bowl blending, porting, polishing, putting in the screwed in studs, springs, and install. i might do it though..... since i already have a screwed-in studs and guideplates on my current heads and the springs are new, i guess it would be free for me to port the hell out a pair of heads polish them and have the studs installed and the springs installed (if they are a larger diameter). how much do you think it would cost? i have all the materials (except porting kit) and the heads would be free, so whats the labor charge at the machine shop?
lets say i could put better heads on OR get a 3000 stall and keep my crappy heads. which do ya think i should do? (remember only one).
thanks
brady
