Need Help Guys (heating Problem)

[stickshift]

Hey guys, now that I got my big block in I don't have any heat on the inside of my car. I am running a new aluminum radiator with a Cyclone electric fan. The radiator / fan combo keeps the engine really cool. The temp doesn't go above 160 degrees. I am using a 160 degree thermostat. Could the reason I don't have any heat on the inside be because the engine is running so cool at only 160 degrees?

you should still have heat, maybe not as warm as it was

 

was your monte a AC car?

if so...did you hook up the vacuum line for the heater/AC controls?

 

I used to run a 160 stat, my 454 seems to like 185-190

Check your heater hoses to see if they are both about the same temp. Sounds like a flow problem.

Hey guys, On the small block that was in there one heater hose went to the intake and the other heater hose went to the water pump. On the big block both hoses are going to the water pump. shouldn't one hose go to the water pump and one hose go to the intake. If so, what do I do with the other outlet on the water pump? The small block water pump only had one outlet but the big block water pump has two. Can someone post some pics showing me how to rout these hoses. Thanks

Kenneth the outlet on the passenger side goes to the heater core, the outlet on the drivers side goes to the base of the intake its a bypass hose. here is a picture of my heater hose
