    Advice for coolant system upgrade

    I pulled the radiator yesterday and discovered that my stang at one time had been an AOD and still had transmission cooler lines attached and crimped somewhere back behind the oil pan. All that's gone now and I am waiting on the new radiator to be delivered on Monday. After getting the...

    Probably a dumb radiator question

    That appears to be the case. That would also explain why it has 3.27 gears I suppose.

    Probably a dumb radiator question

    Radiator is out and those coolant lines are gone. I did manage to trace them back and make sure they were not connecting to anything first. Thanks for the help 4rdnut!

    Probably a dumb radiator question

    Thanks 4rdnut. I've tried that but the cooler line nut and the radiator fitting are damn near welded together. I need to get some penetrating fluid but the store is closed. Would you think those cooler lines are just hanging loose? If I pull down on them they have a ton of give and I can hear...

    Probably a dumb radiator question

    I'm trying to remove my radiator and having trouble with a couple lines connected to it. They are thin metal tubes and are not shown in the Chilton guide I have which makes me think they are fluid line coolers for an automatic transmission.. which would be odd as my car is a 5-spd. I can't get...

    My last week's project

    I would love to have a garage even 1/100th as nice as yours. WOW! And 2 beautiful cars in it to boot. Looks great! I think you just sold me on the K-member brace for my vert. Already have subframe connectors and this sounds like it will be a nice addition to tighten things up even more.

    CITMOV's progress thread

    These are the kind of projects I enjoy to follow along with. Looks like you are doing a great job. This gives me motivation to start a progress thread for my ride in the near future.

    New to me 4 eye, new wheels?

    I'd take that over the 98 V6 I used to have. ;)

    Bait and switch...who's experienced it?

    I've been thinking about ordering one of the Ford Racing water pumps the past few days. That sucks to see some company pull a fast one on you. Hopefully it wasn't from one of the outfits I've been looking at ordering from.

    New to me 4 eye, new wheels?

    Maybe it's seeing the wheels straight on in the pics but the spinners don't seem to fit those wheels in my opinion. Maybe they look better at a different angle. Also.. Stormin Norman hood would look pretty sick. Definitely looks like a good stang regardless what you decide.

    NEW to me 90 LX Hatch

    Congrats on finding a good one! I myself just picked up my first fox about 2 months ago and got pretty lucky to find one in great shape that needs just a minor bit of TLC. Definitely not easy to find. Look forward to seeing how yours turns out!

    Interior Restoration

    This is a timely question as I myself am getting set to restore the doors on my 91 vert. I have not pulled my doors apart yet but have already ordered the sound dampener and vapor barrier from 50resto along with other odds and ends needed like door actuators and strikers. Out of curiousity...

    Advice for coolant system upgrade

    That makes sense. These are the things I'm just learning. Thanks for the advice! Planning to order new radiator tonight. Going to give it a try with the electric fans for right now and see how it goes and then either install a controller as rustyruststang5 suggested or rip it out and go back...

    Post pics of how your foxbody currently sits

    Here's how mine sat as of about 2 weeks ago. Now it's sitting waiting on a radiator replacement to hopefully solve some cooling woes.

    Advice for coolant system upgrade

    Thanks for the info guys! I definitely agree with the sentiment about getting the fans hooked up without a manual switch. That's definitely the plan, but first I want to get everything else buttoned up since I at least know they do work as is. This does bring up a couple more questions...

    Advice for coolant system upgrade

    Hi guys, I recently purchased a 91 GT with a fair number of mods already installed. I've been running into issues with the car running hot and have already swapped the t-stat with a 180* model and replaced with fresh coolant and Water Wetter, but that doesn't seem to be helping. The radiator...

    New from Brownsburg IN

    Hey guys, wanted to introduce myself. I recently bought a 1991 GT Convertible from a guy around the St. Louis area. Currently only have a few minor projects planned as it was in great shape to begin with. Plan to rehab the doors with new actuators and all new bolts and clips first. Then work...
