what problems do y'all run into with a big block swap I assume transmission and motor mounts are biggest deal but considering getting a 440 out of my Buddys rv to stuff in a w150

 

Mounts and brackets, transmission, oil pan and pickup dipstick, radiator are primary part's you need.

 

that's what I figured I was going to fabricate a lot of things for it I'm mostly concerned with engine bay room for every thing cause my 318 has a little room and so does my buddies 360 but I'm wondering how much room ill have left for all of the cooling system and that

 

No problem, they came from the factory with the 440.

 

This is Spamburgers , a 440 looks small in a pickup.

 

what cooling issues will I have should I run 2 puller fans a pusher and puller or 2 pushers or even a mechanical fan I'm not able to leave any motor stock to save my life and done want to kill a 20000 mile 440

 

I’m using a duel electric fan to help with clearance for the billet serpentine pulleys. It’s a flex-a-lite puller with an adjustable temp controller. I’ll get some pics of the fan set up when I get home tonight.

 

Here she is in her current state, don’t mind the dust, I’ve been working on a couple other projects for the last couple years.

You can kind of see the fans, I have them set to come on at about 170F. They seem to do a good job with the little use I have on them.

This pulley set up is the reason for the duel fans. The single was about 1/4 inch into the water pump pulley. With two they kind of straddle it.

 

ill trade you my 318 for that whole engine bay lol but where you buy the fans from

 

You can get them anywhere, they are a universal fit.

 

how is the fans wired and set to turn on I never have messed with electric fans

 

You can buy a controller separately or some of the fans come with one in a kit. They are pretty easy to wire and set, there are only 5 or 6 wires. Battery + and - keyed power or a switch and power out to the fans, just follow the instructions. Honestly you are quite a ways from needing a fan right now, I wouldn’t worry about it until you are ready. They really are pretty easy.
