Just ordered and figured out the diferance between a 1\2 BBC cooling system from Performance Products (SK4008) and a Full HP 500HP systems. Since... I'm under 500HP and the time of abusing er... getting my YaYa's off - a savings of $350.... I'll have to buy new hoses - no big deal concidering I'll be mounting to runners low and in front of engine, with reserve tank on firewall. Done right - will at least look good, functional, not interfer with dual batteries and hopefully maintenance routines..
I believe - correct choice - and again - I "believe" I made the right choice. This is the opening to hear from all !!!
System is suitable for BBC water flow demands and temp control. I'm carburated, estimated 425HP - brand new 454 short block .060 over, larger cam (with a thumbs up from the majority of you "experienced" mechs on cam specs), heads with roller rockers, larger studs, rods, guides etc.... sht guys everything is new and quality.....
Bottom line - Just NOT interested in subjecting a new engine to "salt"...
I will still fresh water flush, "Hose the Entire boat" - but now... I'll only be flushing the exhaust system... YeeeeeeeHaaaaaa :)
So far - Sounding good to me ??????
Or ................did I screw up with this "part selection" ?????? :(
