Minor upgrades...

I've done most of the upgrades that I'll be doing to the old Bronco 300-6, except for a couple of "lesser" things... I couldn't be much more pleased with the HP & MPG's! THANKS - FTE's.

I've been trying to order an electric radiator fan for about a week, and everybody has them back ordered. Anybody know someone with a 16" & kit - in stock? I like the perma-cool HP, but can't find one. Must be the heat...

Thanks to input from FTE, I'll be looking into 1.94 intakes and a custom grind on the spare head - maybe by next Summer. I've seen prior posts on roller rockers - anybody running them & if so - what kind and where from? I suppose new p.r.'s, lifters & an RV cam would be the sensible route...

I'm also going to get that book on turbo-charging and start contemplating a low - mid boost application. Any new (turbo) success stories/recommendations out there?

Hasta..

PS - I had a high pitched whine that started showing up at 3-4K rpm's - turned out to be the power steering pump, which finally took a dump about 40 yards down the hill from the garage. Glad I wasn't 300 miles away... that pulley was a PITA. I fab'd a puller from a large flat washer (custom "U" grind), old socket & a nut and bolt. NAPA wanted $60 and a day or two to get their "puller" in...
