I have a 79 toyota body and frame with 1-ton chevy running gear. SBC 350, turbo 400, dual cases, D60, 14FF. Problem #1, I can not keep the motor from over heating, I have a Summit Racing aluminum radiator, two summit fans with the relay kit, and I am running a thermostat which I have replaced a couple of times. I have checked all the dumb stuff... One fan is pushing the other is pulling, there is no air in the system. Could it be something with the motor itself? Something wrong with a head, or the water jackets? I am my wits end!
Problem#2 My power steering keeps overheating also. I have the Chevy power steering pump running into the the toyota ifs box. I have gone through a handfull of power steering pumps so its not the pump. I ran an auxillary cooler for the power steering and still no help. Is the chevy pump just too much for the steering box? Could it be something in the steering box itself? It's nothing dumb like a pinched line. Any other thoughts? All input is aprecciated.
