    87' 350 SBC Rebuild

    I'm confused as to why you would want to put electric fans on a mostly stock build. A good radiator and fan clutch setup should be perfectly fine.

    Not only does a restoration take a long time depending on the shop, their backlog could easily be a year or more. My wait was 14 months.

    Need advice on what to do.

    Maybe there is a HS or college auto shop class in your area that would take on your repair. That is not big damage and relatively routine to repair for a veteran body guy. In my experience, if you have damage (rust) in the places shown, there is more to be found where you may not have looked.

    hypothetical, mpg

    I do all of the small things to improve mileage and performance as hedders, aluminum intake, dual exhaust without an x pipe and nothing more. My POV should not be confused with your POV. My squares perform as built and I accept the gas mileage as it is. To buy one and expect it to do something...
