Rebuild 3.0 flex.

[Goldranger]

Had this truck for 8 yrs about .. bout 5 yrs ago it spun some bearings i replaced the crank..couple yrs ago developed cooling issues, cracked a head. Still had cooling issues. Traced it to corroded hose fittings on water pump and a cracked manifold hose fitting, not the big hose. So now i have 2 new heads new water pump & clutch fan. Its about to get a rebuild. Im so close to getting a c4 302 combo. Funny thing is a rented a car for work and they gave me a hemi powered warlock dodge 2020.

did you get the cylinder top ridge removed???

new bearings will slam your new rings into that ridge.

The V8 sounds like a better option, lol

Electric fan would be good as well over a new fan clutch
