I've been working on a '53 Chevy 3600 for a couple years now and have some progress to report: I've installed a totally rebuilt (by me) stock 292 with GM throttle body fuel injection retrofit. Yesterday I fired it up and WOW. Fuel injection is amazing technology. Nothing against a good carburetor, but I decided to try fuel injection on this project and it is going to be fun!!!
Here's a question for you guys: The 292 is a bit longer than original 216 engine so there is no clearance for a conventional radiator fan. I'm using a stock radiator, so was planning to mount a pusher fan between grille and front of radiator. Anyone out there have experience with this arrangement? Do you have some advise to give? Your comments would be MUCH appreciated.
