Ok,
Checked motor mounts, both new, receipts say solid from butler I think. The engine looks tilted towards the driver side, 14.25 from drivers valve cover, 13.5 from passenger, I am unsure how that could be?
New fan will fit I think, but definitely won't be centered. I do have the bottom baffle it turns out. See attached.
Pulled off the pump, its a Cardone rebuild and it does have the cast iron impeller, I assume the 68 pumps need the distance from impeller to inner plate done, I am only familiar with the 69+ water pumps. I forgot to check the inner plate distance but I don't know if I can do that on a 68.
That being said, think the FlowKooler 68 pump is better than the stock one? I know it's a lot of money but if it helps 5-10 degrees its worth it to me. I am not sure how the 68 compares compared to the stock impeller.
Thanks for all your help!
