Now for my questions...



1) I am looking for a good set of electric fans to keep this 406sbc cool. I am running a hi-flow waterpump, a aluminum radiator from the parts store, 160 degree thermostat...



2) What is a good way to mount a tach? I have a 5in with shiftlite and want to know if theres any good place to mount this...I dont know if I want to put it on the dash or on the column I am going to build for the shifter.



3) What do you guys think so far??

Same here. Two electrics pulling, water with water wetter in the summer and a shut-off for the heater. I have my tach mounted under the dash to the right of the steering wheel. I dont like it out in the open too much, but with a tunnel ram sticking out of the hood, I probably would! What do you have on those headers? If that isn\'t coating, I would suggest it. It saves plug wires and keeps the enigine bay way cooler.

Those are the headers that I purchased from the parts store here...

Ok, tell me about \"Water Wetter\" Getting ready to fire mine up. What would \'\'Water Wetter\" do for me? I must have lead a sheltered life, I have never heard of it. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif

It makes it run a little cooler than water-antifreeze mix. You can buy it at almost any parts store..

1)I have a 406 with a Yukon radiator (3 core) and Dual 12\" pushers. The fans are in the mail so I really don\'t know how well this will work yet.



2)I had a 5\" pedestal mount Monster tach that I screwed to the a-pillar in my Blazer. i liked it a lot there. I had a tach mounted on the column in my pickup and hated it.

Personally I like where mine is mounted. Out of the way but easy to see. Check out my pics. Theres one of my interior in there somewhere.

How do you like the 406? What all components do you have to go along with it??
