LS Conversion cooling/Fuel systems I am gathering parts for a 6.0 Conversion on a 64 Vette that I am planning on starting in November, Couple questions,
Are any of you running a original type radiator with electric fans? I live in Florida, so heat is a issue, Car is DAILY driven.
Fuel System, I am planning on running a Walbro GSL 392 inline fuel pump, with the side pipes, I don't think the noise will be a issue. other than the noise, any disadvantage of running the inline pump compared to the intake pump?
Thanks,
R.J.

These motors are not hard to cool so your standard radiator will probably work fine. I am running the same radiator and electric fans I had with a mild 350. It cooled the car in Scottsdale AZ, in traffic, with AC, at 109 degrees. In tank pumps are cooled by the fuel in the tank where as inline pumps don't have that cooling benefit. For a daily driver where the pump runs for long periods of time, you may want to consider that from a longevity perspective. It's not that hard to set up an in tank pump. Take a look at this if you have not already:
