Original hemi dart information

[LO23]

A few shots of my 604 Hemi in position. Trying to figure out why the mezier water pump has such an odd angle to the output, and what kind of hose to use to connect it.

sure wouldn't work with a belt driven fan!!! Time to hit the parts store and look for something with the right bends and adjust the ends accordingly.

Hey thanks guys for the radio/heater plate stuff. Much appreciated!!!

I know there's more guys out there with these things. I sure would like to see a few more. Comon guys, Step on up.................................

BTW LO23 Keep a close eye on your temp gauge with that motor using the oem style rad with that kinda hp. The alloy block and heads will help but the design of the original rad leaves alot to be desired. ie inlet and outlet on same side. This doesn't promote the coolant for complete core use.

I tried using the original 033 rad, but it would not cooI. I then changed the top tank so the outlet of the rad was on the passenger side to promote flow across the entire core. Helped but still heated.

The end result is the biggest rad Be Cool makes to fit in a Big Block A Body without any cutting and 2 puller electric fans. The tanks have notches and fit above the frame rails. After all this, I still have to watch the gauge on hot days. But then again, I do street drive mine every chance I get. Even on those hot days

Deep groove underdrive pulleys. Alternator pulley,crank pulley, and waterpump pulley
Aluminum stamped alternator brackets. Reproduction stuff is not stamped

Thank you for that info! I will monitor things closely, and if it looks like I need to, I won’t hesitate to upgrade. We did have the radiator freshly rebuilt; one more thing I was hoping to keep looking original, but not at the expense of my new engine!

Daryl,
I am thinking I read somewhere back a couple hundred posts that these were also thought to be installed on the Mexico export Darts.
Maybe someone has a "south of the border salvage" connection?
