Also, I didn't read the OP's post correctly. I didn't realize he was talking about swapping BB and SB pulleys...my bad.

well yep.. you have better luck with a stock pump in a bbc hi hp big cid engine if so i am all ears i been playing with big cid bbc for some time now and the hi flows seam to help some but it water speed and theres many variables just like you said

AAAHHH....no. You're way out of my league with those monsters. I have one h*$$ of a time with the little ones when it comes to cooling. I'm starting to think a huge radiator in the hatch area might be the way to go.

On a side note, It's just too darn hot out here.

I just wanted to let anyone here that I work for Evans cooling systems. I help hot rod/street rod/ and anything else making power to give them better soultions for helping a car to cool down.
I help anyone with a problem, even if they are using a 50/50 mix. I also DO NOT try to sell anything. I just try to point guys in the right direction for cooling help. So if you have a heat problem with your car , just let me know.
I will ask lots of questions to get info needed to help diagnose.
It's a help if you tell me kind of car, HP it makes, kind of radiator(aluminum or copper/brass) if it's aluminum , how big are the inside tube widths. What kind of pump? electric or belt driven? overdrive on the pulleys? smaller pump, larger crank? what kind of fan? belt or electric.If belt is it shrouded?
