Can anyone tell me if their Pontiac 350 motor sits with a tilt from front to back or it sits almost horizontal? How far into the shroud is your fan? And is it a clutch or fixed fan?
My original 350 sits with a tilt to the back and the clutch fan is almost 2" out of the shroud on the top. I'm sure this is causing my cooling problems on a freshly rebuilt motor. I bought a new fixed fan and 2.5" spacer to try, but still don't like to tilting back of the motor.
With the car on a perfectly even surface the engine and transmission Should have a 3 degree angle down at the back. You can measure it on either the carb mount or starter mounting surface. Your pinion angle should also be at an up angle of 3 degrees.
Thanks. Any info on the what the correct fan assembly is would be great.
4 bladed solid fan. (no clutch)
