    Quick fan CFM question

    Wow.... good to know. I fear I have to ditch my electric set up because the distance from my rad to water pump pulley bolts is 2 7/8". I called flex a lite and they recommended a composite 400 series 17" fan (number 417). I figure a 1/2" spacer and a 3.5" shroud should do the trick...

    Quick fan CFM question

    I have a shroud on the fan now, its a spal electric fan rated at 1350 cfm. Im confident the fan is too small. Im mostly worried about if these fans flow more air and if they will hold together at 7000 rpm. Im thinkin about a 3.5" shroud with a 5 or 6 blade fan, or whatever fan is deemed best...

    Quick fan CFM question

    Well, my electric fan is not cutting the mustard..... or keeping my car cool in traffic. I am going to put a larger one on but in the meantime, I was thinking about putting the 5 blade ford stock style fan back on. My question is, about how many cfm would you say it is? DO YOU THINK IT WILL...

    C4 upgrade to AOD

    yah, it can be done.... don't be afraid. You will need to modify or buy a new trans mount, and the drive shaft length may change as well. The most important thing...... TV ADJUSTMENT!!!! this is the throttle valve line pressure arm that sticks out of the side of the trans. (Lokar makes a nice...

    How to Pick a Modern Suspension?

    I have seen V8 8" rear ends hold up all day with 300 hp, however with enough abuse, it wont last forever. Remember, if your peeling out, your not really straining the rear end. Its the hook up that will ruin your day. I personally will do extra work and pay more for piece of mind. An 8.8 will...

    How to Pick a Modern Suspension?

    My car handles great, look at my garage for stance. I have everything 2+2 mentioned except I have the CPP front lower A-arm kit. This is a great kit and wont break the bank. It has a sub-frame the helps stiffen up the front of the car and it eliminates the strut rods. I noticed a HUGE...

    Air Cleaner Clearance Issue with Export Brace and Maybe the Hood

    yep.... I bet your engine mounts are adjusted so your engine sits back in the engine compartment. I know you are attached to your air cleaner but there is a better option. I imagine it it out of the question to move your engine (shifter location changes, driveshaft changes etc...). K&N makes...

    Transmission Fluid Leak From Dipstick??

    you got a fire extinguisher. You can fix the problem with that.... ha ha. Seriously, just swap out the o-ring and put A LITTLE silicone around it for extra insurance if you want. Please read the silicone packages (permatex), when you are buying silicone and make sure you grab the silicone...

    1968 289 H2O

    Greg, Think about what you have done so far, torn down heads.... heck.... you tore apart 3/4 of your entire car to prime it (good gob by the way, great thread), please do not be afraid of an oil pump or pushing pistons out of a cylinder and dropping a crank..... especially on such a prime...

    Input on 347 combo...

    +1 on 13'S until the exhaust and tire limitation are rectified. I run 12's in my coupe and that is with a 275 rear tire, and full length headers. I have a little more cam and heads than you as well (although I have an AOD trans). When I run skinnys I end up leaving my ET on the ground...

    front shock help

    Yah, part of my problem is that I have custom shock mounts that are actually lower than stock, this coupled with the car being lowered equates to having a smaller shock. I gave Alex a call at Moneymaker Racing (real nice guy), and the end result was a shorter shock with the proper ends welded on.

    front shock help

    Well.... my car is LOW. I have KYB shocks and noticed that there is only 1 1/4" of shock shaft left after install. I measured the shock shaft when removed from the car and it is 4 1/2" long. Looks like I need a shorter shock so I don't bottom this one out and ruin it or worse yet, send...

    620 coil spring question

    I want the car to be 1/2" higher, so maybe this is the better option, I can mill the one inch lowering blocks down to 1/2" (therefore lifting the car 1/2") and then buying those thick 1" coil spring insulators from Scott Drake and turning those down to a 1/2 " on a lathe (therefore lifting the...
